Augustine Osei views marginal soils as valuable learning platforms for discovering innovative strategies to sustain life and productivity under changing environmental conditions. Learn more about his work in this #GroundedInSoils blog post: wp.me/pclOv9-yD @Augusti2016

This just came out with @Augusti2016

@OelbermannMaren @AmanaKedir So good to see the crops growing. Looking forward to harvest already😊

Crops are growing in Happy Valley, Labrador @AmanaKedir

@ebadewasoil @nbasiliko @MitacsCanada Awesome!

This week, #farmers in Northern Manitoba toured our #biosolids - #pulpandpapermillresiduals trial plots to learn about our novel use of #millresiduals biosolids agronomic rate research and innovation from #CanadianKraftpaper and #UofT scientists. @nbasiliko @MitacsCanada

Across #UWaterloo, graduate students are harnessing their passions to tackle the climate crisis. PhD candidate Augustine Osei @envwaterloo is one of them. His research explores how marginal lands can advance green energy. Read more: bit.ly/42JW7mg | #GradImpact

The Soil Ecosystem Dynamics Research Group at the University of Waterloo moelbermann.com has full funding for a domestic PhD starting September 2023.

@SerraWillow Congrats Serra

@OelbermannMaren @CareNeverStops Hopefully, you are saving enough energy for the ride😊

While we head into the weekend, I will continue training for our Dempster Highway ride to support our regional cancer centre @careneverstops. Donate here to help support our cause grhf.ca/products/pedro…

Cancer has touched many of our loved ones. So we are doing something about it. We are getting ready for our fundraising with @CareNeverStops. All donations go directly to the GRH and tax receipts will be provided. Please donate here: grhf.ca/products/pedro…

@Agroforest2022 an interactive poster session highlighting student research. @OelbermannMaren @MarneyIsaac @ShathiAkhter6 @keefekeeley

Freeze- thaw affect Greenhouse gas emission from Miscanthus and Switchgrass fields differently. @Augusti2016 shares the details at @Agroforest2022

@Augusti2016 freeze-thaw experiment on soil from perennial bioenergy plantations on marginal land is now underway.

@OelbermannMaren Wow! Congrats

Its official:

@PabloLR16 You are right @PabloLR16, especially, when you have to do it by making sure you don't disturb the soil or breaking the plant. It was difficult but doable.

@Augusti2016 @OelbermannMaren Thank you for the photo! Sometimes it is challenging to grow plants and handle gas samplings in such experiments.

What happens to nitrous oxide emissions when soil P content changes? Completing our experiment with @Augusti2016 on switchgrass.

@PabloLR16 @OelbermannMaren For gas sampling, plants are folded into the chamber head space as shown in this picture

@OelbermannMaren @Augusti2016 Interesting! And how do you collect gas samples from this type of pots?

Our winter freeze-thaw field work continues in the biomass bioenergy plantations with @Augusti2016

@OelbermannMaren Gorgeous!

Beautiful fall day watching the process of leaf senescence and decomposition...
