Sunday, April 23, 2017

This week, Ecohydrology Group Members are presenting their research at the 2017 EGU Conference (April 23-28, 2017) in Vienna, Austria, with nearly 15,000 attendees.

Fereidoun Rezanezhad gave a presentation entitled “Contribution of peat soil structure to biogeochemical processes: A physical understanding of pore distribution and solute transport characteristics, with co-authors T. Milojevic and P. Van Cappellen from the Ecohydrology Research Group and Christian Kleimeier, Haojie Liu and Bernd Lennartz from the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and Baltic TRANSCOAST Research Training Group, University of Rostock, Rostock, Germany.

Mahyar Shafii presented his research “Climatic and physiographic controls on catchment-scale nitrate loss at different spatial scales: insights from a top-down model development Approach” with co-authors Philippe Van Cappellen from the Ecohydrology Research Group and Nandita Basu and Sherry Schiff from the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at University of Waterloo.  Mahyar also organized a session (HS2.3.5) entitled “Water quality at the catchment scale: measuring and modelling of nutrients, sediment and eutrophication impacts” with 6 oral and 23 poster presentations.

Other presentation from members of the Ecohydrology Research Group include that by Hans Durr entitled “Groundwater quality across scales: impact on nutrient transport to large water bodies”, with co-authors Nils Moosdorf from Leibniz Center for Tropical Marine Ecology (ZMT), Bremen, Germany and Ulf Mallast  from Department Catchment Hydrology, Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ, Halle, Germany.
