RBC Foundation visited the Ecohydrology Labs yesterday as part of their announcement to donate $1.75 million in support of the Water Institute's new graduate studies program in Integrated Water Management (IWM). The funds will create 120 scholarships over the next eight years as well as underwrite high-profile program fellows (RBC Visiting Fellows) and an annual RBC Water Scholars Program student symposium.

Ecohydrology group member, Dr. Raoul-Marie Couture, reports two new publications in Environmental Science and Technology and Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta:

Couture R-M, Rose J, Kumar N, Mitchell K, Wallschläger D, Van Cappellen P.

Ecohydrology group member Hans Dürr just published TWO new papers together with colleagues from Europe and the US:

Dr. Kristen Mitchell invited to attend Great Lakes Land-Based Debris Workshop in Cleveland, Ohio, May 22-23, 2013

This strategic planning workshop, the first of its series, was hosted by NOAA's Marine Debris Program. Stakeholders discussed ways to address the growing problem of land-based debris in the Great Lakes. The workshop was an invitation-only event.

Dr. Fereidoun Rezanazhad is presenting his talk entitled "An automated fluctuating water table column system to study soil biogeochemistry under redox-dynamic conditions" at the 4th International Multidisciplinary EcoHydro Conference in Rennes, France, May 13-16, 2013.

Dr. Philippe Van Cappellen to speak at the Canada Excellence Research Chairs Presentations meeting at the University of Alberta, Edmonton on May 13, 2013.

Dr. Raoul-Marie Couture and colleagues from the University of Waterloo have organized and will host the symposium entitled "Biogeochemistry Across Scales" at the 4th International Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition, May 26-30, 2013 in Quebec City.

The organizers would like to acknowledge Dr. Kristin Mueller's invaluable effort with the organization of the symposium.

Taylor Maavra, a PhD student within the Ecohydrology group, will also present a poster at the conference.

Congratulations to Kristen Mitchell for her appointment as the American Geosciences Institute's 2013-2014 William L. Fisher Congressional Geoscience Fellow. Kristen will spend 12 months working as staff member for a member of the US Congress. We wish her much success in her new role as a science policy advisor!

Ecohydrology group member, Helen Powley, will present her Ph.D. thesis proposal entitled,

Dynamic modelling of water and nutrient fluxes in the Mediterranean basin: linking land processes and marine ecosystems at the regional scale.
