Philippe Van Cappellen attended the 2nd Sino-Canada Workshop on Plateau Lakes Research, which was held August 14-16 at Yunnan University, Kunming, China. The workshop focused on the challenges facing the protection and management of water resources in the Plateau Lakes region of Yunnan. Issues ranged from non-point source pollution to invasive species and ecological risk assessment. Break-out sessions allowed the participants to formulate joint research projects between Chinese and Canadian partners. Philippe chaired the session on Non-Point Source Pollution and presented a keynote entitled Rivers in the Anthropocene: Modification of Nutrient Fluxes by Damming. The 3rd Sino-Canada Workshop on Plateau Lakes Research will be held in August of 2017 in Ontario – stay tuned!
