275 Samples and 276 Mosquito Bites
--by Thanuja Thavarasa Living organisms need a variety of nutrients in order to grow. For plants, nitrogen is an essential nutrient. Nitrogen, found in the form of nitrate (NO₃ˉ), is taken up through plant roots from the surrounding soil. Thus, we thought it would be interesting to explore the relationships between soil nitrate concentrations and… Continue reading 275 Samples and 276 Mosquito Bites
Flow variation within the Grand River Watershed: An explanatory exercise
-- by Aidan Doak Hydrologists and environmental scientists often look at river flow through time and focus their attention to the minimum, maximum and average values. These values are used to answer questions regarding dry and wet periods, which can lead to hydrological droughts or floods. Less often do we look at the variation of… Continue reading Flow variation within the Grand River Watershed: An explanatory exercise
If you were wondering why the Dairy Bush was blue… It was us.
-- by Thanuja Thavarasa, on behalf of myself, Aidan Doak and Jamie Bain Water flow through soil is quite complex. It can move either vertically or horizontally dependent on a variety of factors like soil texture and different types of rainfall events. It can be valuable to know these water flow patterns since they can… Continue reading If you were wondering why the Dairy Bush was blue… It was us.
