Best Management Practice (BMP) Optimization in Agriculture and Drainage
March 8, 2023 | SCRCA Stewardship Team
Dr. Merrin Macrae, a Professor from the University of Waterloo, has research interests in the linkages between hydroclimatology, biogeochemical cycling, and surface-water chemistry in both natural and impacted systems under variable climatic regimes and following disturbance or land use change. Her work is largely in agricultural watersheds and wetland ecosystems. In this webinar, Dr. Macrae presents on “The Importance of Targeting Conservation Practices to Improve Water Quality.”
Dr. Catherine Febria, a Research Chair and Assistant Professor from the University of Windsor focuses her research on the ecology and restoration of small streams and wetlands in human-impacted landscapes, and the role of small waterways in supporting good ecosystem health in the Laurentian Great Lakes. In this recording, Dr. Febria presents on “Agricultural BMP Effectiveness: A Literature Synthesis.”
This webinar was organized by the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority through financial support from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks.
