2015 Spring Freshet in the Catfish Creek Watershed
Here is a quick update on our work in the Catfish Creek Watershed, near Pine Falls, MB, Canada: Cody Ross, MSc student, is currently conducting dye tracing experiments to assess the relative importance of overland flow and subsurface flow in the establishment of riparian-stream connectivity. The Catfish Creek Watershed is characterized by a near even… Continue reading 2015 Spring Freshet in the Catfish Creek Watershed

See the list of oral presentation and posters below: Oral presentation (presenter highlighted in bold): Ali,… Continue reading Our group at the 2015 CWRA national conference
2015 Campbell Scientific Award for Aminul!!!
We are happy to announce that Aminul (Haque) is this year's recipient of the Campbell Scientific Best Student Poster Award! This award was given in recognition of the excellent three-page extended abstract as well as the poster that Aminul presented at the 2015 AGU Joint Assembly in Montreal. Congratulations!
Our group at the 2015 AGU Joint Assembly
Two members of our group (Genevieve and Aminul) will be in Montreal next week to talk about two of our ongoing projects in the Catfish Creek Watershed and and Broughton's Creek Watershed. If you happened to be attending the conference, watch for the following poster and oral presentation: Poster presentation by Aminul on Tuesday, May… Continue reading Our group at the 2015 AGU Joint Assembly
Congratulations Halya!
Halya successfully defended her MSc research work this week. Her thesis, entitled "A combined field data and empirical modeling approach to precipitation-runoff analysis in an agro-forested Prairie watershed", represented countless hours of fieldwork and as many hours (if not more) of digging through 15-minute hydrometric data to extract relevant patterns of behavior for the Catfish… Continue reading Congratulations Halya!
Our group at the 2015 EGU General Assembly
Halya (Petzold) will be representing our group at the General Assembly of the European Geophysical Union next week (12-17 April) and present some of her MSc thesis work. Her poster is entitled: 'Hydrology without hillslopes: runoff controls and pathways on a near-level, engineered landscape'. Go check it out if you happen to be in Vienna!
New group members this spring 2015
We did not get a proper snowmelt this spring, but we are excited to see our group expanding within the next few days and weeks: * Jonathon Belanger will join us as a research associate and help us with many of our research projects and new CFI-funded instruments * Adrienne Schmall will be working with… Continue reading New group members this spring 2015
NSERC award for Adrienne… again!
Congratulations to Adrienne (Schmall) for being awarded a NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award (USRA) for the second year in a row. Adrienne will resume working with our group this summer, mainly on the topic of wetland hydrologic connectivity and the use of different tracers to track water and solute movement and pothole-dominated landscapes.
MSc position available at the University of Winnipeg
