About FEWA Lab

Multi-disciplinary, multi-systems, and multi-methods approach to improving the current state-of-the-art in pollutant biogeochemistry
- Stable and unstable isotopes tracing
- Mobile sampling platforms (unpiloted aerial vehicles (UAVs), research aircraft, ground-based vehicles)
- Large-scale mesocosm experiments
- Dendrochronology and dendrochemistry
- Air monitoring sensors
- Passive air sampling (diffusive, non-electrical monitoring)
- Active air monitoring (pumped, electrical monitoring)
- Process-driven modelling

Indigeneity, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (IEDI)
The FEWA Lab is an avid supporter of IEDI. The lab provides equal opportunity to student researchers of all background and is also highly collaborative research group that has built meaningful research connections (past and present) in all seven of the world’s continents.

Global issues require collaborative global solutions
Many of the issues caused by environmental pollutants are global in nature and driven by excessive consumerism. Actions to reduce domestic use and emissions of certain pollutants alone is not always effective to reduce domestic impacts of those pollutants due to global product lifecycles and their long-range transport potential in the environment.
Students and researchers are encouraged to develop and explore their own contributions to their scientific fields through initiative and network building. The ultimate goal of this global research strategy is to reduce the impacts of pollutants on human and environmental health in Canada and abroad.
