Watershed Moment
We all have a story to share. I still have a lot to learn, but I am very motivated to make a difference in protecting the quality of our water resources. Thank you, Faculty of Engineering, University of Alberta and the Civil & Environmental Engineering Dep't, for giving me a platform to move water quality research forward!

We had amazing Co-op students this summer! We are sad for them to leave us, but we are very happy with the skillsets they learned and their wonderful contributions to our lab. They are definitely a great example of truly hardworking, intelligent students, and we have no doubt of their success in the future. Good Luck to you all!

Seth was awarded the NSERC USRA
Seth's summer co-op is funded by the NSERC Undergraduate Research Award (USRA). His work is mainly focused on understanding the spatial and temporal distribution of emerging substances of concern in the urban sections of the Bow River watershed. NSERC USRA is an excellent opportunity for undergrads to check out whether a career in research is something that they want to explore. If you are interested in doing a USRA with me, feel free to reach out and we can both design a research project for you!
Demi finished her I-STEAM Pathways internship!
August 20, 2021
Demi spent her Summer 2021 with the Arlos lab learning more about nanoplastics and their potential behaviour in the environment. We could not join the I-STEAM's in-person graduation ceremony as we were finishing up the research activities in Calgary. Demi had been a great lab member and we would definitely miss her!
Watch the other I-STEAM interns talk about their research in the video below.
