My research interests focus on physical, chemical and biological processes involved in gas dynamics in soil systems. I develop experimental setups to perform gas percolation through highly instrumented soil columns under controll
Linden Fairbairn
I am currently the Project Coordinator in the Ecohydrology Research Group. My role involves coordinating project activities and outcomes, administrative support, and outreach activities for various projects within the Global Water Futures program at the University of Waterloo.
Mehdi Gharasoo
My primary research interests lie at the intersection of Environmental, Earth, and Computational sciences, and more specifically involve developing and employing computational tools for modeling the spatio-temporal dynamics of biogeochemical/ecohydrological processes at the soil-water interfaces inside the vadose and groundwater zones.
Kinjan Chauhan
I joined Ecohydrology Research Group (ERG) in June 2021 as a Research Assistant. My role in ERG is to web scrap data from social media platforms with respect to aquatic recreational activities, the data is then processed and analyzed further. I accomplished a doctorate in Computer Science with a research interest focused on Image processing, spatial data, and data mining for predictive analysis.
Heather Townsend
My research focuses on the effects of the freeze-thaw cycles on carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus speciation dynamics across the reactive interfaces in agroecosystems.
Tung (Nady) Kao
My research project focuses on the influences of dammed reservoirs on a river’s phosphorus (P) load and bioavailability.
Rute Pinto
My research focuses on the assessment and modelling of aquatic ecosystem services, integrating hydro-ecological and socio-economic data and information to support the sustainable management of freshwater, estuarine and marine ecosystems.
Jovana Radosavljevic
I am a PhD student with a background in hydrogeology. I am interested in the quantification of phosphorus export from stormwater management systems into the aquatic ecosystems, especially during extreme climate events. My research focuses are:

Ali Reza Shahvaran
I joined the Earth Sciences (Water) program in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Waterloo and ReSEC Lab at Wilfrid Laurier University in September 2021. My current thesis is a part of the GWF Urban project. It focuses on studying the retrieval algorithm of Cladophora and Chl-a concentration using remote sensing data to calibrate the developed algal growth model of western Lake Ontario.
Tamara Van Staden
Anthropogenic phosphorus (P) inputs into agricultural soils have exceeded crop demand for decades. The resulting release of the excess P to surface water contributes to eutrophication, including the occurrence of harmful algal blooms (HABs), with severe threats to drinking water security and aquatic ecosystems.
