Heidi Swanson (PhD student) won the Best Student Platform award at the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry’s Annual Meeting held in Tampa, FL. Her presentation was entitled “Transients in the north: interactions of migratory fish, climate change, and contaminant accumulation in coastal Arctic lakes.” Congratulations Heidi!!!
The first week of May we started our whole pond experiments at CFB Gagetown. Twenty-four ponds have been split into two and we are treating one side with glyphosate either on its own or in combination with N and P to examine the effects of these stressors on wetland communities. Leanne Baker (PhD student) has been in the field most days sampling the aquatic invertebrates and feeding the terrestrial invertebrates!
