Grant: Canada Research Chairs
Nipissing University
$100,000.00
Watershed Analysis and Modeling
FY 2017-18
Summary
My CRC chair has led to innovative research in watershed hydrology that is advancing scientific
understanding of water cycling in Canadian Shield watersheds. This work, based in the Sturgeon
River-Lake Nipissing-French River (SNF) Watershed, focuses across multiple scales, and
couples process-based science with the use of tools such as modeling and stable water isotopes
(SWI). Major achievements include the development of the Watershed Analysis Centre, the
generation of an extensive regional SWI dataset to characterize sources and transit times of
streamflow, and the development and testing of hydrological modeling tools for simulating water
quality and quantity.
