Environmental concerns are compromising beneficial uses of the Great Lakes, a team of UWindsor researchers write in the Conversation.
UWindsor professor Hugh MacIsaac accompanies students from China’s Yunnan University on a boat trip to collect water samples from Lake Erie.
Eight students from Yunnan University in China travelled to Windsor for a two-week course at the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research.
Dr. Kenneth Drouillard, professor at the University of Windsor's Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research, explains why the emergence of mayflies can be an indication of lake health.
Most years, they rise from the water and blanket unsuspecting communities.
Children scream as their friends run in pursuit with one of these winged-insects pinched tight between their fingers.
But what are they exactly and should we be encouraged when some years produce seemingly record levels and others don’t?
Are they fishflies, June bugs, or mayflies?
Christopher Weisener leads a research project developing an early warning system for water quality by exploring microbes in sediment.
Groundbreaking UWindsor research on detecting microbes in sediment as an early warning system for water quality has received NSERC funding.
