StrEAMS Lab

Congrats to @StrEAMS_Lab's newly minted MSc Becky who successfully defended her thesis on heterotrophic activity in forested streams receiving water from tile drains. Awesome work Becky!

Check out new special issue in JGLR presenting work on Lake Winnipeg. Lots of contributions from @StrEAMS_Lab in this one! #LakeWinnipeg #Phosphorus

Spent the day opening up TRESS, our artificial stream facility! Especially great to get there after a long COVID winter. Looking forward a summer full of great experiments!

Great News in the @StrEAMS_Lab as both of our new MSc's Amy and Lauryn were awarded NSERC CGS M's today. Congrats to the both of you!

New @StrEAMS_Lab paper comparing wastewater effects on stream assemblages using multiple statistical approaches. Free copies from the link below. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S14…

@ChelskiLittle We use the CSA regularly, MTS and grip models can be found in link for paper below. Feel free to reach out for more info, adam.yates@uwaterloo.ca . doi.org/10.1007/s10980…

All right freshwater tweeps. Who uses cotton strips to measure decomp? What tensiometer (and grips?) do you use? Looking to buy one with my startup money but I'd love to see example setups!

Check out the latest #LakeWinnipeg collaboration from @StrEAMS_Lab and @BioMESLab in @STOTEN_journal for free. Identifies sources of nitrogen to the Red River and its tributaries. authors.elsevier.com/c/1cVU6B8ccoNe…

Our STOTEN paper with @BioMESLab evaluating the metabolome of the Northern crayfish as a stream biomonitoring tool is now available online - here is a link to download for free!! authors.elsevier.com/c/1c5UIB8ccoOsM

More @StrEAMS_Lab research describing impacts of wastewater lagoons on Prairie streams is coming! Paper led by Kristin Painter, @StrEAMS_Lab PhD, was accepted to Environmental Science: Process & Impacts today. Study looked at the fate of bioavailable nutrients. More info soon!

The latest #metabolomics based #bioassessment collaboration between @StrEAMS_Lab and @BioMESLab has been accepted to @STOTEN_journal. "Crayfish tissue metabolomes effectively distinguish impacts of wastewater and agriculture in aquatic ecosystems". Available soon!

Congrats to @StrEAMS_Lab PhD Candidate, Kristin Painter, whose paper "Contribution of nitrogen sources to streams in mixed-use catchments varies seasonally in a cold temperate region" has been accepted for publication in @STOTEN_journal!!

Our new paper "Episodic loadings of phosphorus influence growth and composition of benthic algae communities in artificial stream mesocosms" can be downloaded for free from Water Research for 50 days - Check it out! #Phosphorus #Rivers #Eutrophication authors.elsevier.com/c/1bbKE_~nJ8-L…

We discovered this cool critter in its burrow while doing field work in a forested, first order stream last week. Great to be able to be out in the field again - always something new to see and learn!

Congrats to @StrEAMS_Lab's Nolan Pearce who successfully defended his thesis yesterday - Great work Dr. Pearce! Check out his chapters at these DOIs: doi.org/10.1016/j.jglr…; doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…; doi.org/10.1007/s10750…; doi.org/10.1016/j.watr…

First paper from @StrEAMS_Lab TRESS facility was accepted to @WaterRes_J today! Led by PhD candidate Nolan Pearce paper demonstrates potential for stream biofilms to respond to simulated nutrient pulses. Stay tuned for online version in near future!

@StrEAMS_Lab alumnus Craig Irwin's article "Spatio-temporal variation of benthic metabolism in a large, regulated river" published in this months issue of Canadian Water Resources Journal - doi:10.1080/07011784.2020.1724198 - check it out :)

Congrats to Cora Bilhorn who successfully defended her MSc thesis today! Everyone in the @StrEAMS_Lab is very proud of your great accomplishment!

Congrats to @StrEAMS_Lab members Lauren and Becky who were recognized with an NSERC PGS D and an OGS, respectively. Great news and well deserved!!

@StrEAMS_Lab PhD candidate Kristin Painter article "An ecological causal assessment of tributaries draining the Red River Valley, Manitoba" has been accepted for publication in Journal of Great Lakes Research! Great job Kristin!

Congrats to @StrEAMS_Lab PhD candidate Nolan Pearce whose paper "Spatial and temporal patterns in macronutrient concentrations and stoichiometry of tributaries draining the lower Great Lakes-St. Lawrence basin" has been accepted for publication in Journal of Great Lakes Research.
