ERG members attend IAGLR 2024

Friday, May 24, 2024

The International Association of Great Lakes Research (IAGLR) hosted the 67th Annual Conference on Great Lakes Research on May 24-27 in Windsor, Ontario. The conference’s theme was Shared Lakes: One Water, One Health. ERG members Serghei Bocaniov, Zahra Akbarzadeh, andPhilippe Van Cappellen convened the session Nutrient Export from Urban and Rural Watersheds to Large Lakes: Addressing the Diversity of Nutrient Sources, Speciation and Transport Pathways, and Their In-Lake Biogeochemical Impacts. The following abstracts were presented by ERG members:

  • Zahra Akbarzadeh, Serghei Bocaniov, Helen Powley, Kevin Lamb and Philippe Van Cappellen: Phosphorus dynamics in Lake Erie's littoral zone: Insights from a regionalized mass balance model.
  • Serghei Bocaniov, Donald Scavia and Philippe Van Cappellen: A revised phosphorus mass balance model for Lake Erie and applications to eutrophication management.
  • Serghei Bocaniov, Chris Houser, Zahra Akbarzadeh and Philippe Van Cappellen: Re-eutrophication of large lakes: intensification of shoreline erosion as a potentially important source of additional phosphorus loading (a case study of the central basin of Lake Erie).
  • Hang Nguyen, Amir Reshadi, Stephanie Slowinski, Fereidoun Rezanezhad and Philippe Van Cappellen: Controls on microplastics accumulation in stormwater pond sediments.
  • Meredith C. Watson, Shuhuan Li, Philippe Van Cappellen and Fereidoun Rezanezhad: Temporal trends in microplastics deposition to rural reservoirs in the Grand River watershed.
  • Bowen Zhou, Chris Parsons, Mahyar Shafii, Fereidoun Rezanezhad, Elodie Passeport and Philippe Van Cappellen: How efficient are bioretention cells in mitigating urban stormwater phosphorus and nitrogen export?
  • Jorge Garcia-Hernandez, Serghei Bocaniov, Roy Brouwer, Narasimman Lakshminarasimman and Philippe Van Cappellen: Optimization of Nutrient Reduction Measures Targeting Agricultural and Urban Sources around Lake Erie.
