Listen to recordings of fascinating lightning talks about ongoing work both by the Healthy Headwaters team members and our partners. Topics ranged from carbon complexity in farm fields to COVID masks, from algal blooms in the Thames River to plant-microbe relationships in root systems.
Taking you behind the scenes of some of our agricultural fieldwork this summer as we manually drilled over 100 boreholes to collect soil data.
We're grateful to have gotten a mussel field season at all this year with COVID-19 and so now it's time to trust the process as we explore and interpret our data.
Covid may have thrown a spanner in Lauren Weller’s plans but we were able to pivot, and when research resumed so did fieldwork! It was a race to finish before the crops came off but the HHL team sprang into action to help and we got it done.
It has been just over a year since the inception of the Healthy Headwaters Lab, and this fall we welcomed our first cohort of undergraduate researchers! Emily Browne, Dante Bresolin, and Shayenna Nolan have all started their thesis projects investigating key questions in stream ecology. Our undergrads were also recently featured in a commercial for the faculty of science, representing [...]
What does science look like in a COVID-19 world? Collaboration and research meetings are both a big part of the scientific research process and the partnership driven research the Healthy Headwaters Lab does.
In the Healthy Headwaters Lab, we study freshwater ecosystems with the goals of restoration and rehabilitation in mind. One of the most valuable and widely used methods to study streams is biomonitoring using benthic invertebrates.
The IPBES is THE global organization focused on advancing stewardship of the planet through strengthened government and science linkages. Dr. Febria is a new nominated expert – one of 40 globally – to help define the latest Nexus assessment.
