Excited to share our research that was just published in @tandfonline highlighting part of my masters research on urban lake water quality! @WaterStudies @aspire_dal @drtightline Article: https://t.co/JS2ShPlUma

[DataStream @DataStreamH2O]

Shout out to @WaterStudies @aspire_dal @drtightline & @caseyDoucet for contributing data to #Atlantic #DataStream as part of the 2021 Synoptic Water Quality Study 💧🎉 This study started in 1980 to monitor the health of 50 lakes in the Halifax region https://t.co/RGzMpARjoP

#fieldphotofriday: Our @aspire_dal #environmental field school in PEI is complete! We taught/learned about #nitrate flows in/out of @basinheadbeach lagoon and had a lot of field fun! @DalHydro

[Graham Gagnon @DalWaterProf]

Lots of great work occurring in NS on this topic! Many @WaterStudies partners and researchers are presenting their work tomorrow @aspire_dal symposium on algal toxins. @lindserinanders will discuss some of our passive sampler work

Here are a few photos of our ASPIRE students (Baillie Holmes, Tessa Bermarija, Casey Doucet, and Nicole Bell) sampling some of the study lakes by kayak and boat:

ASPIRE students participated in a Synoptic Water Quality Survey of lakes in the HRM area. Over 50 lakes were sampled last week as a part of the survey, which looks at long term changes in lake water quality due to land use changes and climate change processes.

Great work @rachelnoddle, congratulations from @aspire_dal!

[Rachel @rachelnoddle]

Honoured to have had the opportunity to present my research on N isotopic signatures in sewage at #SAEC2021, and excited to share that I received the Graduate Research Award!! @Dal_SIBL @Dal_ESnENVS

@WaterStudies PhD students Jenny, David (@fosterd3), and Leili (@LeilaAbkar) competed in the 3 Minute Thesis competition this morning! The competition is also an opportunity to share their work with the broader @DalhousieU community and practice crucial communication skills.

[David Foster @David_Foster24]

Jenny Hayward, of @WaterStudies and @Civil_Resource fame, presents her #PhD #thesis work on bacterial antibiotic resistant genes at the 2019 @DalhousieU 3 minute thesis. Great job, Jenny! #3MT @aspire_dal @DalGradStudies @3MT_official feat. shoutout to @NSERC_CRSNG!

Happy International Women's Day! To celebrate, here are some photos from the ASPIRE Women in STEM events so far! #iwd2019

[Engineers NS @EngineersNS]

Change starts with each of us! On #WomensDay, @EngineersNS reflects on the progress of our profession #30by30, We recognize barriers that exist and strive to come together to celebrate our successes moving forward on the path toward #diversity #IWD2019

[David Foster @David_Foster24]

Moment of #academic pride: landing the cover story on Atlantic Forestry Review! I discuss the potential of #forest #management to help provide easier to treat drinking #water and my research on this with @HalifaxWater. #Halifax @DalPublicSchol @aspire_dal @DalManagement

[ASPIRE @aspire_dal]

Thanks to all those who submitted applications to join the ASPIRE team this May and September. We look forward to reviewing your research goals and will get back to you soon! If you missed this call, don't worry - there will be another call for applicants in the summer!
