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…

Nouveau projet de communication scientifique : Parce que les rivières ont chacune leur rythme…
Les rivières ont joué un rôle central dans le développement historique, culturel et économique du Québec. La capacité actuelle et future des rivières à préserver la vie humaine et la biodiversité dépend de la quantité (débit) et de la qualité (chimie) de l’eau qui y circule. Les Québécois connaissent bien les extrêmes hydrologiques majeurs qui… Continue reading Nouveau projet de communication scientifique : Parce que les rivières ont chacune leur rythme…
Nouvelle subvention de recherche en lien avec la connectivité écohydrologique
Nous sommes ravis – et reconnaissants – que notre demande de financement auprès de la Fondation canadienne pour l’innovation et du ministère de l’Économie et de l’Innovation du Québec ait été approuvée. Ce nouveau financement nous permettra de déployer une gamme d'instruments sur le terrain pour étudier la connectivité écohydrologique. Plus de détails à venir… Continue reading Nouvelle subvention de recherche en lien avec la connectivité écohydrologique
New funding for ecohydrological connectivity research
We are excited - and thankful - that our funding application to the Canadian Foundation for Innovation and the Ministère de l’Économie et de l’Innovation du Québec was successful. This new funding will allow us to deploy a range of instruments in the field to monitor ecohydrological connectivity. More details to come in 2024 when… Continue reading New funding for ecohydrological connectivity research
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!
New funding for the modelling of Pothole wetland dynamics
A multi-partner research team led by Genevieve Ali was recently successful in getting funds from the Lake Winnipeg Basin Stewardship Fund (Round 6). The goal of the project – to start in 2013 and end in 2017 – is to develop a simulation tool that will allow researchers and land managers to examine and measure… Continue reading New funding for the modelling of Pothole wetland dynamics
Multiple projects funded through Round 6 of the LWBSF
The Watershed Systems Research program is lucky enough to have had three research projects given the go ahead by Environment Canada through the Lake Winnipeg Basin Stewardship Fund (LWBSF). The biggest project, led by the Manitoba Conservation Districts Association (MCDA), will focus on the establishment of pilot sites for innovative surface water and nutrient management… Continue reading Multiple projects funded through Round 6 of the LWBSF
New funding for research on non-contributing areas
Funding was awarded to Genevieve Ali through Environment Canada’s Lake Winnipeg Basin Initiative to conduct research on the “delineation of areas that contribute to nutrient transport in near-level landscapes within Lake Winnipeg Watershed”. Indeed, runoff is particularly difficult to calculate in Prairie basins because the areas contributing to downstream flows are limited and highly variable… Continue reading New funding for research on non-contributing areas
New research program launched
Genevieve Ali just received new funding from NSERC for research on water, sediment and nutrient connectivity in engineered Prairie landscapes. This new funding is also associated with an Early Career Researcher Award to G. Ali. With this new research program, focus will be on landscapes where natural flow paths have been significantly altered by surface… Continue reading New research program launched
New research partnership
The University of Manitoba (Genevieve Ali, David Lobb, Annemieke Farenhorst) signed a collaborative research agreement with Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation (MIT) to investigate runoff generation mechanisms and nutrient export processes in the Catfish Creek Watershed (part of the larger Winnipeg River Watershed). The project will span over a three-year period and notably involve the recruitment… Continue reading New research partnership
