The Water Institute announced the recipients of its 2016 Seed Grant competition. The seed grants aim to stimulate interdisciplinary collaboration, facilitate interaction with national or international authorities, encourage new areas of research and foster the development of research proposals. Six applications were awarded including two projects with Ecohydrology Research Group applicants:

Today and tomorrow, Dr. Hans Dürr is attending the International Joint Commission's (IJC) workshop on Microplastics in the Great Lakes. He is presenting a talk, "A review: Plastic Debris in the Great Lakes" at the workshop. He will also participate in and give a public presentation on plastics in the Great Lakes at the IJC's public forum tonight.

Taylor Maavara gives an invited talk at the University of Tuebingen in Germany. She presented her work on the global effects of damming on the biogeochgemical cycles of carbon and nutrients.

The newly formed Ecohydrology Group for Gender Equality in Geosciences (EGGEG) held its inaugural meeting on April 14^th and was well attended by 17 group members.

The main objective of our group is to facilitate solution-oriented discussions to promote peer mentoring and community building within our research group.

The first meeting focused on imposter phenomenon and subsequent meetings will follow a similar format whereby we use a literature-based approach to discuss gender issues in geosciences (e.g., gender bias).

Research2Reality (R2R) produces high quality, short movies showing today's research, which informs tomorrow's reality. Their videos feature the innovative, cutting edge research being conducted by world-class researchers in Canada.

The R2R crew visited the Ecohydrology labs in 2014 to see the group's work in action and interview Philippe on the importance of the study of Ecohydrology. Watch the video!

Philippe delivers the last Moonlight on the Marsh lecture of 2016 at the Everglades Wetland Research Park in Naples, Florida.

The next day, Philippe enjoyed a boat tour of the mangroves of Naples Bay guided by Bill Mitsch.

Philippe attended the KAUST Athenaeum: Dissolution and Precipitation – Implications for Energy Geo-Engineering (February 7-10, 2016). The event was organized by Prof. J. Carlos Santamarina and the KAUST Upstream Petroleum Engineering Research Center.

Our students –Tatjana Milojevic, Stephanie Slowinski, Christine Ridenour, Adrian Mellage, Tariq Aziz, and Danny Oh – did a great job presenting their research at the Canadian Geophysical Union – Hydrology Student (CGU-HS) meeting on Saturday. Student researchers from universities across Ontario attended and presented their research.

Large group of people holding World Wetlands Day Banner

For the fourth time in a row the Ecohydrology Research Group hosted World Wetlands Day (WWD) at the University of Waterloo. The event included 30 poster presentations by students and researchers from University of Waterloo and Western University, followed by a distinguished lecture by Prof. Jos Verhoeven from Utrecht University in the Netherlands.
