Philippe presented recent collaborative research on riverine nutrient fluxes and their impacts as part of the 2021-2022 OCGC-Logan Club Seminar Series. The seminar series is jointly offered by the University of Ottawa, Carleton University, and the Geological Survey of Canada's Logan Club in Ottawa. Due to the pandemic, the seminar was delivered virtually

The week of December 13th- 17th 2021, Ecohydrology Group members are presenting their research at the 2021 AGU Fall Meeting. This annual conference is being held as a hybrid event, with the in-person session being held in New Orleans, Louisiana .

 After a bit of a hiatus, ERG was able to get together to celebrate the holidays! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

The Water Institute has published a press release on a new paper, co-authored by Water Institute members Fereidoun Rezanezhad, Philippe Van Cappellen and Jonathan Price, along with Ecohydrology Researc

A new paper, co-authored by Ecohydrology Research Group members Eunji Byun, Fereidoun Rezanezhad, Linden Fairbairn, Steph Slowinski, and Philippe Van Cappellen has been published in Scientific Reports. The paper is titled “Temperature, moisture and freeze-thaw controls on CO₂ production in soil incubations from northern peatlands” and assesses the impact of climate warming on winter carbon losses in peatland ecosystems.

A new paper in the journal Hydrological Processes outlines 10 best practices to help water science researchers to share their data according to the findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) principles. The paper is first authored jointly by Bhaleka Persaud from the Ecohydrology Research Group (ERG) and Krysha Dukacz from McMaster University. The other authors are affiliated with the Global Water Futures (GWF) program and include Philippe Van Cappellen as well as Homa Kheyrollah Pour a former Research Associate in ERG now at Laurier University.

A new paper, co-authored by Ecohydrology Research Group member Fereidoun Rezanezhad, has been published in Environmental Technology & Innovation. The article, titled "Effects of solid manure particle fractionation on transport, retention, and release of Escherichia coli”, investigated the effect of manure fraction sizes on bacteria transport and retention and the effect of manure heterogeneity on bacteria release through the soils.

Rute Pinto details how vital it is to optimise our aquatic ecosystem services, ensuring a sustainable and healthy future for our planet’s natural environment.

The NSERC Industrial Research Chair (IRC) in Water Treatment at Waterloo held its annual partner information days on November 3-4. The information days started off with a keynote presentation entitled “Microplastics and nanoplastics: Knowns and unknowns” given by Philippe. The talk covered the key issues related to microplastic pollution of aquatic environments and the recent progress in sampling, characterizing and identifying environmental micro- and nano-plastic particles.
