Happy Holidays from G³⁶⁰ Institute for Groundwater Research!
Warm wishes for the season and Happy New Year 2018!
Our very own Philipp Wanner has been awarded the Adrien Guébhard-Séverine prize for his PhD Thesis!
Dr. Beth Parker and Steve Chapman were both instrumental in the work that Philipp did for his PhD Thesis in “Isotope fractionation due to diffusion and sorption of chlorinated hydrocarbons and its implications for identifying reactive processes in aquifer – aquitard systems”.
The Adrien Guébhard-Séverine prize is awarded annually or every two years by the Faculty of Sciences to a PhD student from the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland who has completed a PhD thesis in the field of hydrogeology or geothermal energy.
The prize honours the memory of Dr. Adrien Guébhard-Séverine (1849-1924), a native of Neuchâtel (Switzerland), an associate professor of physics at the Faculty of Medicine of Paris, France, as well as a geologist and prehistorian.
Congratulations Philipp, well done!
Dr. Beth Parker, director of the G360 Institute for Groundwater Research, has been invited to speak at the AGU Fall Meeting taking place in New Orleans, from the 11th – 15th December 2017.
Dr. Parker will present during the session:
H21C Development of Fractured Rock Hydrogeology Through the Witherspoon Era: Discrete Fractures to Complex Systems and Validation.
Dr. Parker’s specific talk will be on the 12th December 2017 within the time period 08:00 – 12:20 and her topic is:
H21C-1469: Contaminant behavior in fractured sedimentary rocks: Seeing the fractures that matter (Invited).
Please go see her talk and have a chance to meet!

Maria Gorecka has been working with Dr. Beth Parker and Dr. John Cherry since October 1996. She started as a lab technician at the University of Waterloo. Maria then became the manager of Dr. Parker’s analytical laboratory in 2001, and in 2008 she followed Dr. Parker to the University of Guelph. She has been supporting Beth’s research for over 20 years now.
Maria has expressed that when she first arrived as a new immigrant, even though she spoke limited English and was learning to live in a new world, her initial trepidation quickly gave way to relief due to the warm welcome she received from working with such an extraordinary group of people who are now her dear friends.
We all feel very lucky to have Maria with us in the group and wish her all the best for her next 60 years!
