Happy belated Halloween from RESTORE! The pumpkin showing the septic system groundwater plume is our favorite:)!

RESTORE co-director Clare Robinson delivers the 2024 Farvolden Lecture at University of Waterloo. Wonderful opportunity to share our leading work that highlights the significant impact of groundwater-surface water interactions on water quality.

New paper by RESTORE PhD student Shuyang Wang highlighting the importance of considering decommissioned septic systems when calculating phosphorus loads to surface waters. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S03…

RESTORE end of summer bbq to welcome an amazing new group of graduate students to RESTORE.

A truly special session at #GeoMontreal celebrating the exceptional impact of Dr. Jason Gerhard as a leader in contaminant transport and remediation and as an inspiration and incredible mentor for so many. Forever remembered. Forever missed.

Congratulations to RESTORE MESc student Yunpeng Gao for completing his MESc on "Geospatial tool for estimating phosphorus loads from septic systems to tributaries" . Next goal for Yunpeng is to complete his PhD at University of Macau. Good luck!

Congratulations Shuyang Wang for successfully completing your PhD on "Geochemical and hydrological controls on delivery of phosphorus associated with legacy stores to surface waters". A very rich PhD that includes numerical modeling, data analysis and field investigations.

It was fantastic to be inspired by others and share our great RESTORE research on urban stream salinization, urban P exports and septic systems at #IAGRL2024

Congratulations to RESTORE students Sabrina Jivani, Hamed Mohamadian, Aidan Gaskell and Melanie Blackburn who won prizes at the CAWQ meeting this week for their oral presentations, posters and 3MTs. #Restorecleansup

I am pleased to share we are holding a special session at GeoMontreal 2024 to celebrate the achievements of Dr. Jason Gerhard. Please consider submitting an abstract and attending the conference (abstracts due January 12). geomontreal2024.ca

Submit an abstract to our session on "Groundwater influences on surface water quantity, quality and ecosystem health” to be held at annual IAGLR conference in Windsor, Ontario, on May 20-24, 2024 lnkd.in/eD6fRCXF.  Abstracts are due January 12th. Hope to see you there!

Happy holidays all from RESTORE. Another fantastic year behind us. Looking forward to the next one!
