Ecohydrology group MSc student Heather Townsend successfully defended her thesis on January 21, 2021 in a virtual defence. Heather's thesis is titled "Environmental sensitivities of coupled biogeochemical cycles in anoxic conditions: from soil batch experiments to a bioenergetics approach."
A new paper co-authored by Ecohydrology Research Group member Dr. Fereidoun Rezanezhad and Dr. Thai Phan from the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences has been published in Environmental Advances. The study assessed the alternative use of the lepidolite extraction solid blended residue, containing elevated level of thallium (Tl), as fill material in post-mining land reclamation.
The Ecohydrology Research Group is collaborating with scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UWM) and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL, in Richland, Washington) to study the transport and degradation of Particulate Organic Matter (POM) in hyporheic zones.
Ecohydrology Research Group postdoctoral fellow Eunji Byun published a new article in Nature Geoscience titled "Extensive wetland development in mid-latitude North America during the Bølling–Allerød".
