Environmental Science & Technology articles ASAP (as soon as publishable) now features a publication by Adrian Mellage, Christina Smeaton, Alex Furman, Estella Atekwana, Fereidoun Rezanezhad and Philippe Van Cappellen. The paper titled "Linking spectral induced polarization (SIP) and subsurface microbial processes: Results from sand column incubation experiments" focuses on the monitoring of microbial growth in porous media using spectral induced polarization (SIP).

The Global Water Futures (GWF) Inception Meeting was hosted byWilfird Laurier Univeristy at the Balsillie School of international Affairs from January 22 to January 23. The meeting brought together core team leads and the primary investigators (PI's) of the GWF-funded projects from the 2017 Pillar 1 - 3 calls for the first time. The aim of the meeting was to allow attendees to gain a broad overview the GWF program, identify strategic needs and discuss opportunities for collaboration.

Fereidoun Rezanezhad has been invited and has accepted to be an Associate Editor of Canadian Journal of Soil Science and Mires and Peat Journal. Congratulations!

Fereidoun is also an Associate Editor of Journal of Hydrology since 2013.

The May 2018 issue of Science of The Total Environment will feature a publication by Taylor Maavara, Stephanie Slowinski, Fereidoun Rezanezhad, Kim Van Meter, and Philippe Van Cappellen. The paper is titled "The role of groundwater discharge fluxes on Si:P ratios in a major tributary to Lake Erie". Focusing on groundwater and surface water throughout the lower Grand River in Ontario, the researchers constructed silicon (Si) and phosphorus (P) budgets to quantify drivers of riverine Si:P ratios.

The 2nd International Summit on Water Environmental Management is taking place in Nanjing, China on November 27, 2017. The Summit brings together international participants from academia, government, and industry and serves as a forum to exchange insights and generate knowledge on sustainable water management and promote international technology cooperation in water.

The latest Ecohydrology Seminar presentation was given by  Alice Dove, an Environmental Scientist from Environment and Climate Change Canada. Ms. Dove's talk, titled Water Quality in the Great Lakes: A Guided Tour, provided an overview of monitoring programs and water quality trends and issues.  

Additional information about the water quality of the Great Lakes can be found in the State of the Great Lakes 2017 reports.
