Marianne Vandergrient, senior lab technician and lab manager in the Ecohydrology Research Group, will be presented with an award to recognize her 35 years of service working at the University of Waterloo! Profiled in the Daily Bulletin, Marianne noted that she feels very fortunate having had opportunities for continuous learning and meeting people from the all over the world.

Ten members of the Ecohydrology Research Group are presenting their research at the 59^th Annual International Association of Great Lakes Research conference this week at the University of Guelph. The theme of the conference this year is “Integrating Across Disciplines and Scales”. Members of the group have organised three thematic sessions and are presenting six oral presentations and two poster presentations during the meeting.

Ecohydrology group members attending:

Adrian Mellage gave a presentation at 4th International Workshop on Induced Polarization (IP), June 6-8, 2016, in Aarhus, Denmark, . He presented his work on the Non-invasive geophysical monitoring of subsurface biogeochemical processes under water table fluctuating conditions.

Congratulations to Christine Ridenour, MSc student in the Ecohydrology Research Group, on being awarded her second Queen Elizabeth II Graduate Scholarship!

Thirteen graduate students and researchers attended the Fifth iCP workshop at University of Waterloo, from May 16 to May 18. Drs. Jorge Molinero and Babak Shafei from Amphos 21 were the instructors of the workshop organized by the Ecohydrology Research Group. Amphos 21 is a company located in Barcelona, Spain that offers scientific, technical and strategic consulting services in five main market sectors: Nuclear, Mining, Water, Sustainability and Climate Change.

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).
