Basic and applied ecohydrology research for a changing world
About us
Our group engages in basic and applied ecohydrology research in agricultural, forested, wetland and urban systems, and is led by Dr. Mark Johnson, Canada Research Chair in Ecohydrology, at University of British Columbia (UBC).
UBCEcohydrology is home to the CFI-funded Integrated Watershed Analysis Laboratory (IWAL).
Research themes:
Watershed science
Sustainability
Ecosystems
Carbon and water cycles
Land use change
Resource management
People and resilience
In addition to collaborations with Canadian and international partners, we also collaborate with a number of groups and centres at UBC, including:
Research
forWater (Forested Drinking Water)
Our research in the forWater network aims to characterize water treatability of forested rivers and streams of varying forest management history in multiple regions of British Columbia.
Agricultural Water Innovations in the
Tropics (AgWIT)
AgWIT tests strategies to lower agricultural impacts on water resources while improving the resiliency of tropical agricultural systems to climate change.
Carbon drainage
“Carbon drainage fluxes in natural and human-impacted watersheds” was a 5-year research program investigating ecohydrological controls on carbon drainage fluxes in natural and human-impacted watersheds. April 2014 - March 2019.
