I'm currently looking for an MSc student to characterize water ages and storage in cold catchments. Several potential projects available, and I will support students who want to develop their own! If interested, please reach out soon at [email protected], as Sept 2026 app deadlines are approaching!

Excited to announce that our latest #SurvivalOfTheDeepest paper was just published! Read more about it here ⬇️

A decade ago, we published our highly cited "Hydrological Feedbacks in Northern Peatlands" paper in Ecohydrology. Today the sequel just dropped! "Hydrological Feedbacks in Northern Peatlands 2: Peat Depth as a Control on Peatland Resilience" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... 1/3

I'm very excited to share the latest paper from the McMaster Ecohydrology Lab. A whole lab effort where we expand our discussion on Hydrological Feedbacks in Northern Peatlands to discuss how peat depth influences the strength of key feedbacks and peatland resilience. Check it out in Ecohydrology!

On behalf of the McMaster Ecohydrology Lab I'm happy to announce the winner of the 2025 #NobelPeatPrize for top Intl #PeatPaper Congrats to: Nijp et al. "Ecohydrological feedbacks increase water storage, streamflow, and resilience of natural peatlands" Journal of Hydrology #Peatlands

For over 15 years the McMaster Ecohydro Lab has awarded the #NobelPeatPrize to the authors of the best peatland or peat paper of the year. It’s that time of year again where we review papers and finalize a list of nominees. Do you have a fave paper for 2025 you would like us to consider?

Always a pleasure to share information about how important our peatlands in Canada are and raise awareness about the threats they face www.cbc.ca/news/science...

CBC getting the word out there on peatland wildfire emissions, an increasingly important topic as fire seasons keep getting worse in Canada. www.cbc.ca/news/science...

www.cbc.ca/news/science... Glad to see this topic at the top of CBC News - watching fires burn up the boreal year after year sucks, and it's the peatlands burning that I worry about most

CBC highlights the issue of greenhouse gas emissions from peatland fires in Canada. www.cbc.ca/news/science...

CBC story on Canadian peatlands and wildfire featuring @gregverkaik.bsky.social @olefeldt.bsky.social @wetland-ghg.bsky.social

As Canada braces for another intense wildfire season, Greg Verkaik is digging into how drying peatlands are fuelling deep-burning fires. His fieldwork is providing critical insight in a warming world. More: brighterworld.mcmaster.ca/articles/fie... #Wildfires #Peatlands #McMasterExperts
