New and departing group members: May 2025 | Nouvelles additions au et départ du groupe : Mai 2025
In anticipation of yet another busy summer in 2025, with not only lots of field installations to complete but also science outreach activities to plan and leas, we made a call for 2 to 4 undergraduate research assistants. As of this month, we are welcoming Liam Greig, Cléa Philips-Kennedy and Florence Dancose are joining the… Continue reading New and departing group members: May 2025 | Nouvelles additions au et départ du groupe : Mai 2025
Research project: What happens to a stream during rain? | Projet de recherche : Que se passe-t-il dans un cours d’eau après un événement de pluie ?
By | par Alina Kostyuk Une version française de cet article suit la version anglaise. My master’s research project is about what happens to a catchment when rain brings in new water, and how this new water travels through the system. A catchment is a geographic area where all water, both on the surface and… Continue reading Research project: What happens to a stream during rain? | Projet de recherche : Que se passe-t-il dans un cours d’eau après un événement de pluie ?

Extreme Rain: Tropical Storm Debby | Précipitation extrême: la tempête tropicale Debby
by | par: Alina KostyukTranslation by | traduit par: Florence Dancose Une version française de cet article suit la version anglaise. With the onset of climate change and global warming, extreme weather events, especially those relating to rain patterns, are a major concern. This is because warm air can hold more moisture than cold air,… Continue reading Extreme Rain: Tropical Storm Debby | Précipitation extrême: la tempête tropicale Debby
Tracking Fecal Coliforms: How Human Activities Affect Water Quality | Étudier les coliformes fécaux: l’effet des activités humaines sur la qualité de l’eau
This summer, I am studying the impact of extreme weather events on the water quality of Ours Creek, an important tributary of the Hurons River. Located in Montérégie, the river is labelled as having a very bad water quality in the province of Québec. I am analyzing 44 different water quality parameters, including total dissolved phosphorus, trace metals, and isotopic signatures, to better understand contaminant transport mechanisms. One of the parameters I’m focusing on is the concentration of fecal coliforms in the water, which serves as an indicator of contamination from fecal matter such as manure and sewage.
In the lab: Preparing countless bottles | Au laboratoire : préparation de nombreuses bouteilles
By / Par Alina Kostyuk When we collect and bring back water samples from the field, they need to be filtered and put into clean lab bottles. The type of bottle depends on what the sample will be tested for. For one of our field sites, we need to prepare five different kinds of bottles… Continue reading In the lab: Preparing countless bottles | Au laboratoire : préparation de nombreuses bouteilles

New science communication project: Because each river has its own rhythm…
Rivers have played a central role in the historical, cultural, and economic development of Quebec. The current and future ability of rivers to support both human life and wildlife depends on the quantity (flow) and the quality (chemistry) of the water that moves in river channels. While all Quebecers know about major water extremes, from… Continue reading New science communication project: Because each river has its own rhythm…
