Ecohydrology Research Group members Dr. Philippe Van Cappellen, Dr. Fereidoun Rezanezhad, and Dr. Adrian Mellage co-authored a new paper that was recently published inÌýScience of the Total Environment. The paperÌýpresents the results from flow-through experiments where Spectral Induced Polarization (SIP) was successfully implemented to monitor transport of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CoFe-NPs) coated with Pluronic, anamphiphilic polymer through natural aquifer sand-packed columns.

Ecohydrology group MSc student Heather TownsendÌýsuccessfully defended her thesis on January 21, 2021Ìýin a virtual defence. Heather's thesis is titled "Environmental sensitivities of coupled biogeochemical cycles in anoxic conditions: from soil batch experiments to a bioenergetics approach."Ìý

A new paperÌýco-authored by Ecohydrology Research Group member Dr. Fereidoun Rezanezhad and Dr. Thai Phan from the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences has been published in Environmental Advances. The studyÌýassessed the alternative use of the lepidolite extraction solid blended residue, containing elevated level of thallium (Tl), as fill material in post-mining land reclamation.

The Ecohydrology Research Group is collaborating with scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UWM) and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL, in Richland, Washington) to study the transport and degradation of Particulate Organic Matter (POM) in hyporheic zones.

Ecohydrology Research Group postdoctoral fellow Eunji Byun published a new article in Nature Geoscience titled "Extensive wetland development in mid-latitude North America during the Bølling–Allerød".

Ecohydrology Research Group student Linden Fairbairn successfully defended her MSc thesis on January 20. Her thesis isÌýtitled "Linking soil moisture content and carbon dioxide fluxes: From batch experiments to process-based modelling".
