G. Ali at the annual science workshop of the LWRC
Genevieve updated the Lake Winnipeg Research Consortium (LWRC) on some of our research activities in Lake Winnipeg Watershed, especially in the Catfish Creek Watershed. The presentation entitled "From the Watershed to the Lake: do we know enough about runoff travel pathways and travel times?" was given on February 17, 2014.
Welcoming new group members this January!
Our group is growing with two PhD students and one research technician joining us this January. Sam Bansah's PhD will focus on isotope hydrology in the South Tobacco Creek Watershed (Red River Valley, south-centre Manitoba) while Md. Aminul Haque's PhD will deal with wetland hydrology and biogeochemistry in Broughton's Creek Watershed (Prairie Pothole Region, south-west… Continue reading Welcoming new group members this January!
Infrastructure funding from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation!
To further the group's hydrological research in intensively managed Prairie watersheds, Genevieve Ali was recently awarded funding by the Canadian Foundation for Innovation (CFI) for the establishment a new research platform to be called MHyLAB (Mobile Hydrobiogeochemical LABoratory). This new infrastructure will allow our group to examine the temporal variability of nutrient concentrations in surface… Continue reading Infrastructure funding from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation!

Members of our group will be discussing Prairie hydrology and water quality dynamics at the upcoming Fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco. Halya Petzold and Amber Penner will present posters showing preliminary results associated with their Master's research projects while Genevieve Ali will give a talk about the dominant controls on… Continue reading Our group at the AGU Fall Meeting 2013
Field season wraps up in the Catfish Creek Watershed…
Freeze-up came at the end of November in Catfish Creek Watershed, bringing a close to the 2013 field season. Water and weather monitoring instruments not designed for extreme low temperatures or in danger of being drifted over by snow were removed from the watershed through the month of November. In total, 26 perched water table… Continue reading Field season wraps up in the Catfish Creek Watershed…
