Philippe and Fereidoun present research at the 2018 Ocean Science Meeting in Portland, Oregon

Sunday, February 11, 2018

This week, Dr. Philippe Van Cappellen and Dr. Fereidoun Rezanezhad from the Ecohydrology Research Group are presenting their research at the 2018 Ocean Science Meeting (February 11-16, 2018) in Portland, Oregon. Philippe will give an invited talk on "Global Modifications of Nutrient Delivery to the Coastal Zone by River Damming" in session CD53A: Land-Ocean Linkages Along Shallow Coastlines Under Human Impact, organized by Fereidoun and his colleagues of the Baltic TRANSCOAST program in Germany. Fereidoun will present a poster on "Flow and Transport Processes and Biogeochemical Reactivity of Coastal Peatland Soils" with co-authors Philippe Van Cappellen and Bernd Lennartz. Matthias Kreuzburg, a PhD student from Rostock University, who visited the Ecohydrology Group in Fall 2018, will give a talk on "Potential relationship between runoff from a coastal peat land on methane and nitrous oxide fluxes in shallow waters of the Baltic Sea", based in part on his experimental results obtained during his stay in Waterloo. Philippe and Fereidoun will also meet the lead PIs of the Baltic TRANSCOAST program to discuss future collaboration between the two groups.
