Dr. Fereidoun Rezanezhad (member of the Ecohydrology Research Group and the Water Institute) co-authored a paper titled "Soil degradation determines release of nitrous oxide and dissolved organic carbon from peatlands", which was recently published in Environmental Research Letters.

The latest edition of CSA News, the magazine of the Crop Science Society of America, Soil Science Society of America, and American Society of Agronomy, features the recent publication “Impact of hydrofluoric acid on humic acid extracted from organic soils and amendments”, co-authored by Ecohydrology Research Group members Yuki Audette, Chris Parsons, Fereidoun Rezanezhad and Philippe Van Cappellen, together with colleagues from the University of Guelph, and published in Soil Science Society of America Journal.

Ecohydrology Research Group member, Dr. Fereidoun Rezanezhad, is leading one of nine projects have been awarded funding under the highly competitive “Advancing Climate Change Science in Canada” initiative.

Stephanie Slowinski, has successfully defended her MSc thesis titled: "Bioenergetics of Mixotrophic Metabolisms: A Theoretical Analysis"

Dr. Fereidoun Rezanezhad, Assistant Professor of the University of Waterloo's Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Water Institute member and member of the Ecohydrology Research Group, chaired a workshop between Water Institute Members and delegates from the China Research Academy of Environmental Sciences (CRAES). 

The Ecohydrology Research Group is thrilled to announce the successful funding of $630,769 for a new Collaborative Research and Development project on “Elucidating the biogeochemical processes controlling natural source zone depletion (NSZD) of petroleum hydrocarbons in contaminated soils under dynamic redox conditions”.

The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) has awarded $676,569 in the form of a Stragetic Partnership Grant (SPG) for a new project on "Assessing risks of eutrophication by urban stormwater runoff under climate change" led by Prof. Philippe Van Cappellen.
