📄New paper by former postdoc Eunji Byun et al. explores how nitrogen and phosphorus amendments affect CO₂ and CH₄ production in Scotty Creek peat soils — with considerations for wildfire and permafrost thaw impacts on peatland carbon exchanges. 🔗soil.copernicus.org/articles/11/30…

We’re just getting started with the 2nd Project Meeting for our NSERC / CRSNG Alliance project on adaptive green stormwater infrastructure. Looking forward to a day of great discussions and collaboration! University of Toronto University of Guelph University of Waterloo Waterloo Science the Water Institute

We wrapped up a successful meeting with 35+ researchers, students, and partners. We reviewed progress, shared research highlights, and explored new ways to deepen collaboration and improve integration across work packages. Onward to stronger, more impactful outcomes!

Ecohydrology group members will be presenting all week at the EGU General Assembly 2025 #EGU25 next week! Check out the link to find information about our presentations: uwaterloo.ca/ecohydrology/n…

💧 We breathe up to 7,000 microplastics each day. 🚰 83% of tap water and 90% of bottled water has been found to contain plastic particles. 🍼 We are even born with them. Plastic waste needs to be managed responsibly. #BRSCOPs2025 #WetlandsMatter
