Breaking boundaries in water research

In Canada, development projects are required to begin with an environmental assessment. Assessments are meant to identify the impacts of development and assist with decision making. However, these assessments are not without limitations. Ecosystems are constantly evolving due to both natural processes and human activities. To gain a full understanding of these interactions, monitoring must ideally occur over a larger temporal and spatial scale.  

The Water Institute proudly congratulates Dr. Mark Servos on receiving the 2024 Outstanding Contribution Award from the Canadian Ecotoxicity Workshop (CEW), Canada’s leading annual event in the field of ecological toxicology and related disciplines.

You might be envisioning a green surface scum or a reservoir that looks like pea soup, but algae can be found in amounts that are invisible to the human eye. And not visible does not mean non-toxic.
