The May 2018 issue of Science of The Total Environment will feature a publication by Taylor Maavara, Stephanie Slowinski, Fereidoun Rezanezhad, Kim Van Meter, and Philippe Van Cappellen. The paper is titled "The role of groundwater discharge fluxes on Si:P ratios in a major tributary to Lake Erie". Focusing on groundwater and surface water throughout the lower Grand River in Ontario, the researchers constructed silicon (Si) and phosphorus (P) budgets to quantify drivers of riverine Si:P ratios.
Christine Ridenour has successfully defended her MSc thesis titled "Biogeochemical Cycling of Nutrient Silicon in a Human-Impacted Large Lake Nearshore Environment (Hamilton Harbour Area of Concern, Lake Ontario, Canada)". Her examination committee members were: Dr. Philippe Van Cappellen, Dr. Chris Parsons, Dr.
