Breaking boundaries in water research

News

A study led by a University of Waterloo Water Institute researcher has learned that climate change is causing an increase in algae blooms in the United Kingdom’s River Thames despite a four-decade-long decline in phosphorus loads. The study completed a detailed analysis of the river’s 150-year water quality record to examine these trends.

Dr. Kelsey Leonard, a Water Institute member, professor in the Faculty of Environment, and Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Waters, Climate, and Sustainability, served as sector co-chair and lead author of the Water Resources chapter in the recently released New York State Climate Impacts Assessment.
