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

Genevieve (Ali) will report on two projects currently funded by the Lake Winnipeg Basin Stewardship Fund (LWBSF) this coming week. First, she will give a lightning talk of the project "Development of a Simulation Tool to Identify Priority Areas for Wetland Conservation and Restoration" that WSRP students Aminul Haque (PhD candidate) and Adrienne Schmall (undergraduate… Continue reading Lake Winnipeg Basin Stewardship Fund Symposium Event – March 2, 2015
Change of status for Cody (Ross)
We are thrilled that Cody Ross, former undergrad research assistant in our group, will be transitioning to a MSc in January 2015. Cody will move away from his Honors thesis work, which focused on optimal sampling strategies for water quality, and rather examine the significance of subsurface flow in the Catfish Creek Watershed through the… Continue reading Change of status for Cody (Ross)
