Research interests
Freshwater and coastal pollution from agricultural run-off is a major global issue. However, we also have a growing need for food, which requires nutrient inputs. A compromise needs to be found to feed humanity and assure water security into the future.
My current area of research is the impact of land use change on water pollution, specifically excess nutrient loading to surface water. I aim to identify changes in the N:P ratios in runoff due to human activities in the lower St. Lawrence River Basin (SLB) as well as hot spots of N and P inputs over space and through time. I also seek to understand the relative importance of each source of nutrient input at the sub-watershed scale, how much of the added N and P reaches the tributaries of the St. Lawrence River, and how that exported fraction by rivers varies with landuse within the SLB. To do this, I am characterizing N and P loads to the 76 sub-watersheds of the SLB throughout the 20th century by using a mass balance modeling approach known as NANI/NAPI (net anthropogenic nitrogen/phosphorus inputs) and comparing N and P budgets with riverine export from measurements in St. Lawrence tributaries to explore retention patterns.
