What does a summer job in hydrology entail? Meet Janelle Laing…
Janelle, an Environmental Science student at the University of Winnipeg, joined the WSRP in the summer of 2015 as an Ecohydrology Research Assistant to explore whether plants are preferentially utilizing tightly-bound water over free flowing water in various settings. Within a short period of time, Janelle learned a great combination of laboratory and field sampling… Continue reading What does a summer job in hydrology entail? Meet Janelle Laing…

If you will be in Fredericton, NB between May 29 and June 2, 2016 for the 50th CMOS Congress & joint CGU Annual Meeting, come talk to… Continue reading Our group at the 2016 CGU-CMOS meeting
NSERC awards for two new group members
Congratulations to Manon Soulard and Kelsey Margraf for being awarded NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRAs). Manon and Kelsey will be joining our group this summer to work on hydrobiogeochemistry projects, more particularly on the water and nutrient exchanges that occur between surface and shallow subsurface soil layers at the edge of farm fields and… Continue reading NSERC awards for two new group members
What does a summer job in hydrology entail? Meet Laura Blunden…
As a Hydrology and Biogeochemistry Field and Research Assistant, Laura’s summer 2015 position with the WSRP was as varied as her academic background and work interests. Laura will soon graduate with an Honors Bachelor of Science in Physical Geography, including a Minor in Biological Science, with aspirations to obtain a second degree at some point… Continue reading What does a summer job in hydrology entail?

Testing the “two-water-worlds” hypothesis in southern Manitoba ~ by Janelle Laing
During the 2015 field season, members of our research group conducted a study on the Fort Garry campus of the University of Manitoba; the study aimed to test the “two water-worlds” hypothesis, which suggests that plants preferentially access tightly-bound soil water over mobile soil water. We collected rainwater, streamwater, mobile soil water (using suction lysimeters), bulk… Continue reading Testing the “two-water-worlds” hypothesis in southern Manitoba ~ by Janelle Laing
What does a summer job in hydrology entail? Meet Matthew Walker…
Meet Matt, the man who lives Environmental Science at work, at home and at play. A former Environmental Design and Architecture student, Matt joined the WSRP as a Biogeochemistry Field Assistant for the 2015 summer field season before entering his fourth and final year at the University of Manitoba in Environmental Science. Matt found… Continue reading What does a summer job in hydrology entail? Meet Matthew Walker…
