ERG attends IAGLR 2023

Monday, May 8, 2023

Ecohydrology Research Group members attended the 2023 International Association for Great Lakes Research (IAGLR) conference held in Toronto, Ontario, on May 8-12. This year’s conference theme was ‘Adapting to Climate Change’. More information about the conference can be found on the conference website.

ERG members organized the following two sessions at the conference:

Serghei Bocaniov and Philippe Van Cappellen, alongside Kevin G. Lamb, Yerubandi R. Rao, and David Hamilton, organized a session titled “Towards Integrated Large Lake/Coastal Ocean-Watershed Modelling.”

Mahyar Shafii, Chris Parsons and Philippe Van Cappellen, alongside Krista Chomicki, organized a session titled “Urban Phosphorus Speciation, Retention, and Export: From Science to Management.
