Applications
are
invited
for
an
MSc
studentship
specializing
in
the
subject
area
of
hydrological
and/or
biogeochemical
dynamics
in
agricultural
systems
in
Manitoba.
We
are
investigating
the
use
of
water
retention
ponds
to
reduce
flooding
and
nutrient
losses
from
agricultural
watersheds

water
quality
issues
in
Lake
Winnipeg.
We
are
particularly
interested
in
the
investigation
of
the
dominant
hydrologic
and
biogeochemical
flowpaths
for
phosphorus
losses
(surface
runoff,
tile
drainage)
during
the
spring
runoff
period.
