In addition to funding Aminul's proposal, GSA also selected him among 774 applicants to receive a specialized award, namely the "Diversity in the Geosciences… Continue reading GSA student research grant award to Aminul!
Out with the snow, in with Field Season 2014!
With May upon us, the snowmelt has finally arrived at the Catfish Creek Watershed, and with it the 2014 field season. The past two weeks have brought the bulk of the freshet, straining our in-stream instruments and overtopping wells that are usually intended for measuring depth below the ground surface to the perched water table. In a… Continue reading Out with the snow, in with Field Season 2014!
Upcoming wetland connectivity presentation at the 2014 JASM

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!
