CGU 2026 - Halifax

Our lab attended the 2026 Canadian Geophysical Union annual meeting in Halifax.

It is always a pleasure to have discussions with fellow Canadian research labs in the ecohydrology field and a range of related

subjects!

Danielle (PhD student) gave a talk about her research in Sault Ste. Marie, Northern Ontario!

Cerra (Msc) presented the results of her master's research at Maimai, New Zealand.

She was awarded the Canadian Geophysical Union's award for the best student paper and accompanying presentation.

Arati awarded for undergraduate research poster

At the 2026 Undergraduate Research Symposium at UBCO, our summer research assistants, Axel and Arati, gave a poster presentation of the results of their respective projects!

Axel conducted their research, titled Afforestation and the Water Cycle: Exploring Throughfall in a Tree Plantation, in Sault Ste. Marie, Northern Ontario at our Thessalon plantation site with Danielle.

Arati spent the summer between Kelowna and Upper Penticton Creek, BC carrying out their research project titled Mature Trees Are the Thirstiest: Tree Stand Age Influences Water Stress in Lodgepole Pines.

Arati received the award for the most accessible poster, which is awarded to the student/poster that best communicates their research to incoming undergraduate students and the general public.

Congratulations to Axel and Arati! We are very proud of their hard work in the lab and in the field this summer!

Cerra's master's defence

In August, our first H.E.R. lab graduate student, Cerra, successfully defended her master's thesis titled 'Transpiration water source and age: mechanisms of seasonal ecohydrological separation and connectivity between transpiration and streamflow'.

Congratulations to Cerra! We wish you all the best for your future endeavors!
