A paper by ERG researchers in the journal Environmental Science & Technology reports the results of an experimental study of the oxidation of arsenic (As) as aqueous As(III) to As(V) in the presence of flavins.
The Ecohydrology Research Group hosted a symposium on December 6, 2019 celebrating the research impact of Philippe Van Cappellen, his colleagues, and his current and former students. The full-day schedule included research seminars and lightning talks from researchers from over 15 institutions around the world.
Ecohydrology group PhD candidate Igor Markelov successfully defended his PhD thesis today titled: "Modelling biogeochemical cycles across scales: From whole-lake phosphorus dynamics to microbial reaction systems".
Ecohydrology PhD student Igor Markelov was part of a team that participated in the ETHWaterloo hackaton that took place in Waterloo on November 8-10, 2019. His team was selected as 1 of 5 winners out of over 60 submissions at the event.
A new publication entitled, “Sulfate Mobility in Fen Peat and Its Impact on the Release of Solutes”, considers the effects of subsidence and seawater intrusion on the decomposition of organic matter in coastal peatlands.
