Bioenergetics of mixotrophic metabolisms: A theoretical analysis
Slowinski, Stephanie (University of Waterloo, 2019-08-29)Many biogeochemical reactions controlling surface water and groundwater quality, as well as greenhouse gas emissions and carbon turnover rates, are catalyzed by microorganisms. Representing the thermodynamic (or bioenergetic) ... -
Evaluating the Current State of Findability and Accessibility of Microplastics Data
Jenkins, Tia; Persaud, Bhaleka; Cowger, Win; Szigeti, Kathy; Roche, Dominique; Clary, Erin; Slowinski, Stephanie; Lei, Benjamin; Abeynayaka, Amila; Nyadjro, Ebenezer; Maes, Thomas; Thornton Hampton, Leah; Bergmann, Melanie; Aherne, Julian; Mason, Sherri; Honek, John; Rezanezhad, Fereidoun; Lusher, Amy; Booth, Andy; Smith, Rodney; Van Cappellen, Philippe (University of Waterloo, 2022-09-16)The rapid growth in microplastic pollution research is influencing funding priorities, environmental policy, and public perceptions of risks to water quality and environmental and human health. Ensuring that environmental ... -
Global trends in timing and rates of chlorophyll-a increase in cold-temperate and temperate lakes
Adams, Hannah; Ye, Jane; Persaud, Bhaleka; Slowinski, Stephanie; Kheyrollah Pour, Homa; Van Cappellen, Philippe (Geochemical Society, 2022-07-11)Lakes are key ecosystems within the global biogeosphere. However, the environmental controls on the biological productivity of lakes – including surface temperature, ice phenology, nutrient loads, and mixing regime – are ... -
Microplastics Research Data: Evaluating the Current State of Findability and Accessibility and Recommendations for Improving Data Sharing
Jenkins, Tia; Persaud, Bhaleka; Cowger, Win; Szigeti, Kathy; Roche, Dominique; Clary, Erin; Slowinski, Stephanie; Lei, Benjamin; Abeynayaka, Amila; Nyadjro, Ebenezer; Mae, Thomas; Thornton Hampton, Leah; Bergmann, Melanie; Aherne, Julian; Mason, Sherri; Honek, John; Rezanezhad, Fereidoun; Lusher, Amy; Booth, Andy; Smith, Rodney; Van Cappellen, Philippe (University of Waterloo, 2022-12-16)With concerns about microplastic pollution increasing, actionable research is needed to inform funding priorities, environmental policy, and mitigation strategies. It is therefore crucial that the corresponding research ... -
Modeling of Microplastic Emission, Transport, and Retention in Urban Stormwater Ponds
Reshadi, Mir Amir Mohammad; Rezanezhad, Fereidoun; Kaykhosravi, Sarah; Nguyen, Thu Hang; Slowinski, Stephanie; Shahvaran, Ali Reza; Van Cappellen, Philippe (University of Waterloo, 2024)Urban areas are the major sources of microplastics to the environment, given their high concentration of people, road traffic, and mismanaged waste. Stormwater runoff, one of the major carriers of urban-derived MPs to ... -
Salinization enhances eutrophication symptoms in a cold temperate urban lake
Radosavljevic, Jovana; Slowinski, Stephanie; Shafii, Mahyar; Rezanezhad, Fereidoun; Akbarzadeh, Zahra; Withers, William; Van Cappellen, Philippe (Elsevier, 2022-11-10)Salinization of inland freshwaters is observed around the world, but particularly in cold temperate regions due to the runoff of salt applied on roads as de-icing agents during the winter. This is the case for Lake Wilcox, ... -
URBAN PHOSPHORUS SPECIATION AND EXPORT LOADS: A PAIRED SEWERSHED FIELD AND MODELING STUDY
Kaykhosravi, Sarah; Slowinski, Stephanie; Bhusal, Yubraj; Shafii, Mahyar; Sabur, Md Abdus; Chomicki, Krista; Ruddy, Stephen; Rezanezhad, Fereidoun; Van Cappellen, Philippe (University of Waterloo, 2023-05-14)In this study, annual and seasonal loads of phosphorus (P) exported from two neighbouring urban sewersheds (AJE and AJW) discharging into Lake Ontario were estimated. The following different chemical pools of P were ...
