Lead Applicant experience and expertise - (Max 150 words. Please briefly describe your research experience and

expertise as it relates to this project.)

I have carried out field-based research on Quaternary glacial deposits in the context of groundwater resource

management for the last ten years. My research group focuses on the physical properties and distribution of sediments in

order to better understand their origin and their impact on potential contaminant pathways in the subsurface. Projects so

far have focused on outcrop exposures in moraine environments (Oak Ridges Moraine and Waterloo moraine) as well as

subsurface drilling of ice marginal sediments (Guelph area)in the context of both agricultural and industrial

contaminants. My recent OMAFRA-UoG partnership pilot project (2010-2013) on the distribution of nitrate and E. coli

in glacial deposits of the Guelph area was successfully completed -it was designed to evaluate the effect of different

geological setting and land use on the fate and transport of these non point source pollutants.

Priority Details from the Call Documents (provided for reference):

Emergency Management: Pathway Analysis

The increasing diversity and volume of trade and travel presents a challenge through the complex movement of people,

food, animals, and plants across and within borders. Once introduced, pests and disease agents can spread provincially or

nationally. Pathway analysis is a systematic assessment of the pathways along which a disease agent or pest might enter

or move within and between Ontario farms and establish an outbreak of disease in plants, animals or humans.

Understanding pathways of invasion and spread is important in order to identify the vulnerabilities and the weakest links

from an Ontario perspective, resulting in the identification of critical control points throughout the agri-food system so

we know where to best target interventions.

For any research project proposed, consider costs and benefits (direct and indirect) as appropriate.

Priority areas for research are:

Identify and model factors that contribute to the emergence, transmission and persistence of infectious animal

diseases, zoonotic agents, food hazards, plant diseases and invasive species/pests with a focus on the hazards that

pose the greatest threat to Ontario.

Review and assess pathway analysis methods. Which ones work well with plant, animal and food systems?

Conduct pathway analyses for priority diseases.

Identify and describe significant transport pathways that facilitate the spread of hazards (e.g. water, birds).

Apply HACCP-like principles to important pathways to determine where best to intervene.

6. Abstract (Max 150 words. Please note the abstract will be shown to third parties in order to find reviewers who are not inconflict of interest with the proposal).

The purpose of this project is to examine the transport and fate of biological contaminants such as E coli and other

human pathogens under different land management practices, namely a fall versus spring manure application. The study

will integrate geological, hydrogeological and microbiological data and builds on a previous study and monitoring

infrastructure at the Arkell Research station. Drilling and core descriptions will be carried out to characterize the nature

of the unconsolidated sediments between the surface and the underlying bedrock aquifer. Geophysical surveys will also

be carried out to help delineate the geometry of units between wells on site. The cored holes will be instrumented with

depth discrete multilevel monitoring wells in order to repeatedly measure water levels and collect water samples.

Hydraulic testing and tracer tests will be undertaken in order to better constrain travel time and contaminant pathways at

the site. Water sampling for microbiological analyses (E. coli counts, PCR based molecular techniques, fecal source

tracking) will take place in new and existing monitoring wells on site both before and after a fall and spring manure

application. Fall and spring application will be compared in terms of time of travel and impacts on water quality.

7. Benefits (Max 350 words per theme). Describe the benefits of the research to Ontarioâ€Â™s agri-food and rural sectors. Identifywho will gain from the research and how they will gain

Theme 1 - Environmental Sustainability

Large investments have been made focusing on the city of Guelph and surrounding rural communities as a model water

research field site in the context of source water protection and groundwater resource management in Ontario. This

includes the development of a numerical groundwater flow model for the region (AquaResources Inc.); a Quaternary

surficial geology mapping study (Ontario Geological Survey); a water supply system study that includes bedrock aquifer

characterization, sampling technique innovation and Quaternary mapping (University of Guelph; Ontario Research Fund;

$4.7M over 5 years); the Southern Ontario Watershed Consortium infrastructure (Ontario Ministry of Research and

Innovation, UoG-$836K over 3 years) as well as a study of non-point source pollutants at depth (OMAFRA-UoG

Partnership; $93K over 2 years). The proposed study will greatly benefit from the leveraging of existing infrastructure

and knowledge associated with these previous investments. Together these studies of the underlying biophysical

processes controlling pathogen transport and fate can lead to improved land management practices and groundwater

quality in rural communities in the Guelph area and throughout Ontario.

Anticipated beneficiaries include provincial and municipal stakeholders who are concerned about the impact of

agriculture on groundwater quality and the sustainable use of manure as a soil amendment. This includes land resource

specialists at OMAF who are interested in evaluating best management practices and developing evidence-based nutrient

management and source water protection policies, as well as other organizations charged with the protection of

groundwater resources (e.g. Conservation Authorities). The city of Guelph and the township of Puslinch and other

similar communities in Southern Ontario will benefit considering much of the capture zones for private and city wells are

overlain by agricultural land where manure is applied on a regular basis. The Ontario Geological Survey may use the

geological and geophysical data collected to supplement their subsurface database in the context of regional groundwater


page 6 of 29

mapping programs. Other researchers (Guelph & Waterloo) and the City of Guelph will also benefit from these

hydrogeological data in the context of understanding the transport and fate of nitrate, another contaminant of concern in

this area.

Theme 2 - Emergency Management

The proposed study will benefit the agri-food and rural sector of Ontario by providing data that can help stakeholders

better understand the transport and fate of biological contaminants at depth. The study will identify and describe

subsurface conditions and transport pathways that facilitate the spread of key human pathogens, such as STEC E. coli,

campylobacter and viruses to underlying bedrock aquifers that many rural communities in Southern Ontario depend on

for their drinking water supplies. The geologic setting at the Arkell Research station is common throughout Southern

Ontario such that the findings at this site will be applicable to other communities and rural areas where agricultural land

overlies glacial outwash sediments and Paleozoic bedrock. The study will also compare the impact of spring versus fall

manure applications on groundwater quality as well as identify any significant differences in transport pathways between

the two seasons. These findings will speak to the pathways analysis priority within the Emergency Management theme

and will benefit provincial and municipal governments as well as private landowners who are trying to identify and

mitigate potential hazards to human health. The study will also benefit the agri-food and rural sector by providing data to

evaluate current best management practices in terms of their ability to prevent future disease outbreaks and by providing

data that can be used to develop evidence based policies related to nutrient management and source water protection.

8. Rationale for the research. (Max 500 words. Explain why the research is needed and the research priority(ies) being mete.g. the problem the research will tackle, or the gap in current knowledge that will be addressed)

The application of manure onto agricultural fields is a common practice in Ontario that allows farmers to manage animal

waste while at the same time returning nutrients to the soil. However, studies have shown that water wells can become

contaminated with E. coli and other pathogens associated with that manure, thus posing a significant threat to human

health. This was most dramatically illustrated by an outbreak of E. coli in the drinking water supply in Walkerton,

Ontario in 2000. Understanding the impact of agri-food systems on the natural environment, specifically groundwater

quality, is essential to ensure environmental sustainability and prevention of disease outbreaks. In a recent study at the

UofG’s Arkell Field Research Station, elevated levels of E. coli was detected in a monitoring well completed in bedrock

one week following a spring manure application in an adjacent field. These findings suggest rapid transport of E. coli

despite a 12 m thick layer of unconsolidated and unsaturated sediments. The monitoring over time also revealed

background levels of E. coli in these bedrock wells.

The proposed study will build upon these findings and the existing infrastructure on site by carrying out additional

geological, hydrogeological and microbiological measurements over a longer period of time to encompass before and

after, both spring and fall, manure applications. Replication of a spring application sampling campaign will allow us to

get a better sense of temporal and spatial variability of E. coli transport at the site. Analysis of a fall application will

allow us to determine if timing of manure application affects the transport pathways and overall impact on groundwater

quality. Fecal source tracking will be used to confirm the source of pathogens in the ground water. The proposed study

will also sample at greater depth to delineate the maximum depth at which E. coli is found within the underlying

bedrock. This will allow us to address the following outstanding questions:

1) What is the source of the E. coli in the groundwater? 2) Can the elevated levels of E. coli following a spring

application of manure be replicated in a non-draught year? 3) Do we see similar elevated levels with a fall manure

application? 4) Does the presence of E. coli in the existing well suggest the groundwater contains other human

pathogens? 5) What factors are most significant in controlling pathogen transport (e.g. macropore flow, depression-

focused recharge, rain events, nature and distribution of unconsolidated sediments)? 6) Do hydraulic or tracer tests

confirm rapid time of travel? 7) Is there topographic relief on the bedrock –sediment interface that facilitates transport to

bedrock? 8) Does the E. coli travel beyond the Guelph Formation dolostone to the underlying regional aquifer?

9. Objectives (Max 150 words. Describe the purpose/ main goals of the research project - what the research isintended to accomplish)

The purpose of the project is to develop a better understanding of the transport and fate of E. coli and other human

pathogens in the subsurface as a result of different land management practices. To achieve these goals, the study will

meet the following objectives:

• Characterize the nature and distribution of unconsolidated sediments found between the soil and the underlying

bedrock aquifer.

• Measure water levels repeatedly in all wells and create head profiles over time. Carry out tracer experiment using a

fluorescent dye as well as hydraulic testing in new wells.

• Collect depth discrete water samples for analysis of biological contaminants in all multilevel wells before and after a

fall and spring manure application in the adjacent field. Frequency will vary from every 3 days to every month as needed.

• Develop a conceptual model for the transport of E Coli that integrates hydrogeological and microbiological data

10. Methods (Max 750 words per theme). For each Research Theme: Describe your experimental plan for accomplishing theresearch objectives.

Theme 1 - Environmental Sustainability

The proposed study will make use of existing and new monitoring wells at the Arkell Research station to characterize the

geological setting, hydraulic conditions and fecal indicators over time, both before and following spring and fall liquid

swine manure applications. The existing monitoring network at the site includes one 7-port CMT multilevel well

completed in unconsolidated sediments, one 30-port multilevel well completed in bedrock and 16 piezometers. High

quality cores were recovered when the multilevel wells were installed and medium quality logs of sediments were

recorded during piezometer installation. Two new upgradient cored hole will be drilled at the site and instrumented with

a 7 port CMT multilevel monitoring well.

Drilling and installation of upgradient well

Rotosonic drilling will be carried out by Underground Sonic Inc. to recover 2 continuous core into PVC tubing for

subsequent logging of soil and unconsolidated sediments at sites upgradient of the existing monitoring wells. Two 7-port

CMT multilevel monitoring well will then be installed to enable repeated and depth-discrete groundwater sampling and

water level monitoring.

Geological characterization

A stratigraphic log showing downcore changes in colour, grain size, clast characteristics, sedimentary structures and

presence and characteristics of fractures will be created for each new core recovered. Samples will be taken for grain size

lab analyses (~1 m interval) using standard sieving (sand) and hydrometer (silt and clay) methods.

Geophysical surveys will be carried out on site to better constrain the distribution of coarse and fine-grained materials in

the subsurface (Ground Penetrating Radar, Electrical Resistivity) as well as to delineate the nature of the bedrock


page 9 of 29

sediment interface (seismic). Downhole geophysical logging (gamma) will be carried out in the piezometers to refine our

understanding of the stratigraphy in those holes.

The existing and new geological and geophysical data will be integrated to produce a refined geological conceptual

model at the site highlighting the nature and distribution of geological materials in the subsurface, focusing on the

connectivity of permeable layers and continuity of impermeable layers.

Hydrogeological characterization

Hydraulic testing will be carried out in the newly cored holes and in the two ports that are below the water table in the

existing CMT well. This will be done in order to obtain aquifer parameters such as hydraulic conductivity to help

elucidate time-of-travel from the surface to depth. The suite of hydraulic characterization techniques will include: 1) low-

flow pumping tests; 2) constant head tests; and 3) infiltrometer measurements at the surface. The formation at the

existing 30-port bedrock hole has already been extensively characterized using the Discrete Fracture Network Approach.

Water level measurements will be taken from depth discrete ports of each of the four multilevel monitoring wells

(overburden and bedrock). Six miniature pressure transducers will be deployed in situ (CMT wells) to periodically obtain

continuous water level information, in order to examine system responses to recharge.

The hydraulic characterization will be enhanced by a forced-gradient infiltration tracer experiment using a fluorescent

dye spread at the ground surface to obtain further insight into transport pathways and (solute) travel time to depth.

Microbial analyses

Soil and manure samples will be characterized for the presence of E. coli, and a range of human pathogens. Water

samples will be collected from the depth discrete ports of each of the four multilevel monitoring wells. Standard

membrane-filtration technique will be used to detect generic E. coli in all water samples. Water samples will be analysed

for the presence of human pathogens of interest, such as STEC E. coli, and Campylobacter using standard PCR based

molecular techniques. Fecal source tracking of host specific Bacteroidales spp. will be used to characterize the manure

source and track indicators in water samples in an attempt to identify the source of contaminants. A water quality sonde

will be used during sampling to measure field parameters during sampling (e.g. turbidity, DO, conductivity, pH, and

temperature).

These diverse data sets (geological, geophysical, hydrogeological, microbiological) will be integrated to create a

conceptual model that sheds light on the biophysical controls on the pathways taken by biological contaminants, as well

as the time of travel and impact of these contaminants on groundwater. A conceptual model will be generated for each of

the spring and fall manure applications to evaluate the differences between different land management practices.

11. Deliverables (Max 100 words. Give tangible and measurable outcomes expected from your project such as a new product,methodology or process).

The project will generate several data sets as well as infrastructure to allow for long term monitoring and evaluation of

land management practices at the site. Specific data sets include stratigraphic log of the new cores; geophysical profiles

and downhole logs (raw and interpreted) of the subsurface at the site; profiles showing E. coli counts and pathogens with

depth over time; profiles showing downcore changes in water levels over time; and conceptual models that integrates the

different data sets to explain the biophysical processes controlling the transport and fate of pathogens at the site under

different land management practices.

Research Interests and Experience Research interest: Field-based analysis of ancient glacial deposits to reconstruct the nature of

past climate change CURRENT PROJECTS Sustainable water supplies for the city of Guelph-Quaternary mapping This 5-year project focuses on characterizing the Quaternary overburden that lies above the city of Guelph’s bedrock aquifer. It is based on field-based analysis of Quaternary sediments from subsurface cores as well as field mapping. It is part of a much larger project that is focusing on the various components of the region’s hydrogeology and includes studies of recharge areas, characterization of groundwater flow and contaminant pathways through fractured bedrock and groundwater modeling. This multidisciplinary project involves twelve investigators from three different universities, various industry partners and the City of Guelph and is funded by the Ontario Research Fun-Research Excellence Program. Glacial geology, land use practices and non-point source pollution at depth This two-year project focuses on how the subsurface geology can affect the fate and transport of nitrate and pathogens in fields under different land management practices. It involves drilling at three sites to characterize the nature of the Quaternary overburden between the surface soils and the underlying bedrock aquifer as well as characterizing the distribution of nitrate and pathogens in sediment and groundwater at depth. The project will provide much needed data to better manage groundwater resources in rural communities and to better understand how land management practices and the Quaternary glacial deposits affect the fate of non-point source pollutants. This project is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA)-University of Guelph Environmental Sustainability Research Program. It involves collaboration with colleagues at the University of Guelph: Kari Dunfield (soil microbiology), Beth Parker (hydrogeology-saturated zone) and Gary Parkin (hydrogeology-unsaturated zone). Late Neogene climate change, Yakataga Formation, Alaska: My research on the Late Neogene (<6Ma) glaciomarine deposits in the Wrangell-St. Elias mountains of South Central Alaska explores the relationship between climate change and



tectonic activity using a multi-disciplinary approach. I am collaborating with Ken Ridgway (Basin analysis, Purdue University), Terry Pavlis (Structural geologist, Univ. of New Orleans), Sally Zellers (micropaleontologist; Univ of Central Missouri), and Rene Barendregt (U of Lethbridge) and Randy Enkin (paleomagnetism, Geological Survey of Canada). The project focuses on integrating structural, sedimentary, paleomagnetic and micropaleontological data to reconstruct the timing and nature of glacial conditions and tectonic activity in the region. Of particular interest is the timing of the onset of glacial conditions, the variable paleoenvironmental conditions along the margin and the record of sea level change at Cape Yakataga. This work was funded by the National Geographic Society, with additional funds from the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC). PAST PROJECTS Quaternary glacial deposits in the context of groundwater mapping, Ontario This project focused on characterizing the nature of deformation structures in Quaternary glacial deposits of interlobate moraines in an attempt to explain the processes that led to their formation and the depositional conditions at that time. This will contribute to our understanding of Quaternary ice dynamics in Southern Ontario, deformation in ice marginal environments and deformation as an indicator of past glacial conditions. It will also help us refine models developed to explain the origin of these interlobate moraines and the nature and distribution of sub-surface sediments in the area. A better understanding of these glacial deposits can then be used in the context of groundwater mapping and in the reconstruction of ice margin fluctuations in the area. This project was funded by NSERC and includes collaboration with the Ontario Geological Survey and the Geological Survey of Canada. Neoproterozoic glacial deposits in tectonically-active basins, Norway and Canada This project was funded through an NSERC Discovery Grant and involves field-based research on the sedimentary record of Neoproterozoic (~700-600 Ma) glaciations. The study in Norway focused on the Smalfjord Formation where documented highly complex deformation structures within conglomerates and sandstone. Detailed analysis of the deformation structures suggests the deformation may be the result of subglacial over-riding of glaciofluvial outwash. The study in Canada focuses on the Toby Formation exposed in the Purcell Mountains of British Columbia. This work aims to establish the relationship between the nature of glacial and carbonate deposits and the structures indicative of tectonic activity at the time these deposits were formed. It involves collaboration with Kevin Root, a structural geologist from Nexen Inc. and Carol Dehler, a professor at Utah State University who is analyzing the geochemistry of carbonates. International Geoscience Programme (IGCP) project on Neoproterozoic ice ages This project aimed to establish a global synthesis of the physical record of Neoproterozoic climate change by bringing together over 200 scientists from eight different subdisciplines within geoscience. The project seeks to better define the number, nature, timing and extent of Neoproterozoic glaciation, the conditions which led to the formation of associated cap carbonates and ore deposits, and the degree to which the geological record fits the current hypotheses of Neoproterozoic global climate change. One of the main contributions of the project is a Geological Society of London Memoir on Neoproterozoic glaciations. I was one of two project leaders, the Canadian national coordinator and the chief Editor of the project book. I also co-lead our first field workshop on the sedimentary record of a Neoproterozoic glaciation in Scotland in association with the IAS conference in 2005.

1. MOST SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS (Note: HQP under my supervision are

indicated by an asterisk*)

1. Assessing the impact of plant variety on microbial biodiversity

Dunfield, KE, Germida, JJ. (2001) Diversity of bacterial communities in the rhizosphere and

root interior of field grown genetically modified Brassica napus. FEMS Microbiol Ecol:

38:1-9. (Citations: 106)

Dunfield, KE, Germida, JJ. (2003) Seasonal changes in the rhizosphere microbial communities

associated with field grown genetically modified canola (Brassica napus). Appl Environ

Microbiol: 69:3710-3718. (Citations: 104)

Dunfield, KE, Germida, JJ. (2004) Impact of genetically modified crops on soil and plant

associated microbial communities. J Environ Quality:33:806-815. (Citations: 118)

I have spent several years studying the environmental impacts of GM crops in a field setting. This

work was some of the first research to demonstrate that GM plants affected microbial communities

in the soil and that field site and plant variety interacted in their influence on microbial

communities. The impact of this research is being felt now, since it has been used recently by

government agencies that are developing policies around non-target impacts of GM crops. For

example, I was asked to become a member of the Scientific Advisory Panel for the US

Environmental Protection Agency, resulting in an EPA report examining the non-target impacts of

GM crops on soil microbial communities:

David Levy-Booth was a MSc student in my lab, and we collaborated with a group examining

environmental impacts of GM corn and soybean (NSERC Strategic Grant, PI C. Swanton). David

focused his work on considering how extracellular DNA cycles through the soil, and developed a

real-time PCR assay to quantify the Roundup Ready®

gene in bulk soil, rhizosphere, soil aggregates

and the detritosphere. These techniques have since been used throughout my research program to

detect key microbial genes of interest in the environment.

3. Using functional genes to link microbial diversity to field-scale nitrous oxide fluxes

Smith, JM*, Wagner-Riddle, C, Dunfield, KE. 2010. Changes in structure of nitrifying and

denitrifying communities during a spring thaw N2O flux are affected by tillage system.

Appl. Soil Ecol. 44: 138-146. (Citations: 17)

The association between bacterial taxonomy and function is still not clear, therefore, targeting

functional genes may provide an avenue to assess biogeochemical cycling and ecosystem function

in soils. In this study we targeted ammonia oxidation and nitrite reductase genes to assess the



effects that season and tillage practices have on the diversity of the bacterial communities

associated with nitrification and denitrification processes in our fields. This study was unique in its

goal of tying measurements of microbial community structure to large- field scale measures of

microbial functioning. The results of this study have broad implications for characterization of soil

microbial communities in natural ecosystems, in particular, the importance of sampling throughout

the year, and assessing the temporal variability in a system. Where possible, I try to build in a

temporal sampling scheme in all of my field experiments. Importantly, this work is the first in a

series of publications that will emerge from an inter-disciplanary collaboration established between

my group, and ag-meteorologist, C. Wagner-Riddle, where we attempted to link gas fluxes with soil

microbial processes and microbial biodiversity. See Wood et al. 2012 and Nemeth et al. 2013

(submitted).

4. Survival and transport of fecal contaminants in soil and surface waters

Samarajeewa, A*, Glasauer, S.M., Lauzon, J.D., O’Halloran, I.P., Parkin, G.W., Dunfield,

K.E. 2012. Bacterial contamination of tile drainage water and shallow groundwater under

different application methods of liquid swine manure. Can J Microbiol. 58: 668-677.

Agriculture is considered a major non-point source contributor to water quality impairments in

Canada. Our understanding of the movement of pathogens from agricultural fields into surface and

groundwater, and also their survival in the soil is poorly understand and difficult to quantify.

This paper, is the result of a multidisciplinary study, where I brought together experts in the areas of

groundwater (GP), nitrogen (JL) and phosphorus (IO) transport in order to simultaneously measure

pathogen and nutrient loads into surface and shallow groundwater from a field that had received

liquid swine manure. Results of his field based research highlighted the need for better tools for

tracking sources of fecal contamination through soil and water, this will be the research focus of a

current MSc candidate in my lab, Crystal McCall.

The results of this research have direct implications for government policy makers, as I was asked

to testify in front of the Canadian Senate:

Miras-Avalos, JM*, Antunes, PM, Koch, A, Khosla, K, Klironomos, J, and Dunfield, KE.

2011. The influence of tillage on the structure of rhizosphere and root-associated arbuscular

mycorrhizal fungal communities. Pedobiologia. 54: 235-241. (Citations: 6)

Lewandowski TJ*, Dunfield KE , Antunes PM. 2013. Isolate identity determines plant

tolerance to pathogen attack in assembled mycorrhizal communities., PloSOne, 8(4)

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi play an important role in the soil ecosystem, through their symbiotic

relationships with most terrestrial plants. Molecular techniques have been developed that can

greatly expand our ability to understand and study the ecology of AMF in soils. These papers

provide some insight into the complex community structure of AMF in agricultural soils, and

represent a series of publications resulting from collaborations with J. Klironomos (UBC) and P.

Antunes (Algoma University). Thaddeus Lewandowski recently finished his MSc in my lab at the

University of Guelph, and was co-supervised along with P. Antunes.

5. CONTRIBUTIONS TO TRAINING OF HIGHLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL

I am committed to graduate and undergraduate training. Over the past six years I have supervised

and co-supervised the training of 33 highly qualified personnel, with a primary focus on training

graduate students (17/27), and undergraduates (12/27). Students have been successful at defending

their theses in a timely manner, PhD students (Aala Ali, 2005-2009, Ajith Samarajeewa, 2005-

2009, M. Avanthi Wijesighe, 2008-2012), MSc students (David Levy Booth, 2005-2007, Jillian

Smith, 2005 -2007, Angela Straathof 2008-2010, Deanna Nemeth 2009-2012, Thaddeus

Lewandowski 2011-2012, Ian McCormick 2010-2013), and MES student (Alden Crossman, 2013).

Importantly, students have been offered positions in their fields, D.L.B worked as a molecular

biologist at the Pacific Forestry Center, part of Natural Resources Canada, and is currently in a PhD

program at UBC, J.M.S. is a Nitrogen and Greenhouse Gas specialist at Agriculture and AgriFood

Canada, A.S. is a Soil Microbiologist at Environment Canada in Ottawa, ON, and D.N. is a Soils

Specialist at Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, T.L. is an Environmental Consultant, in MI,

USA, M.A.K is a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Saskatchewan, A.S. is a PhD candidate

in Wageningen, Netherlands. These students highlight the employability of students trained in

molecular microbial ecology.

My research program is highly collaborative, students often have the opportunity to work in

an interdisciplinary research group. Several students are co-supervised by an advisor in a

complementary research field, in order to provide them with training and expertise from supervisors

in other fields of study. For example, I am currently co-supervising, PhD students, Tandra Fraser

with Derek Lynch, Dalhousie University, and Nicola Day with Pedro Antunes, Algoma University.

My role in their projects is to provide expertise in molecular biology, while their other supervisors

provide expertise in Phosphorus and organic farming, and ecology, respectively.

Students are actively involved in attending and participating in annual meetings involving

investigators, funding agency representatives and stakeholders. My students have presented

research updates at AGGP, OMAFRA and CWN meetings, among others. Graduate students are

also involved in public outreach programs where we have developed a laboratory demonstration

called “DNA: the building block of life”, we generally have 2 to 3 outreach events yearly. In

addition, I send each student to at least 1 national or international scientific conference a year, in

order to communicate and access other experts in their field of study. This has resulted in over 17

contributed presentations and 19 contributed posters with my graduate students as first author, over

the last 6 years.

Curriculum Vitae Jana K. Levison, PhD, EIT

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE My research focuses on groundwater resources, specifically flow and contaminant transport with a specialization in sensitive fractured bedrock aquifers. My approach includes both field research and numerical modeling to characterize and study vulnerable aquifers with the intent to technically inform policy to protect water resources. Recently I have been working on the following primary themes: i) transport of anthropogenic contaminants in sensitive aquifers; ii) ecohydrology and climate change; and iii) public policy development related to environmental/water resources engineering and the engineering profession.

Summary Statement My research primarily concerns intensive field studies at carefully selected industrial sites where organic contaminants have occurred in the groundwater for a long time (i.e. decades). I apply new methods of data acquisition and improved versions of existing methods, both at exceptionally detailed spatial scales, to determine the contaminant distributions in ways best suited to identify and quantify the dominant processes of transport and fate responsible for the contaminant distributions. My main contributions to groundwater science include: 1) development and field proof of innovative methods, 2) understanding of processes most relevant to the critical scales of geologic and chemical heterogeneity, and 3) advancement of conceptual models in contaminant hydrogeology. I began my PhD research concerning contaminant hydrogeology in 1992 and completed the PhD degree in 1996. My research focus continues to evolve. The early years were focused mostly on fractured clayey aquitards, then much of my attention was directed at heterogeneous sandy aquifers and in the last decade my work has mostly concerned fractured sedimentary rock. I am strongly collaborative in ways aimed at improving the scope and rigor of my field studies and enhancements in data interpretation using mathematical models. I have authored/ co-authored 55 papers in refereed journals and many other papers. For my published works, The Google Scholar citation index reports a total of 979 citations, of which 682 are in 2007 and more recent. I have arranged the five most important contributions below according to this evolution of emphasis in my research. Current Research Focus Contaminant hydrogeology with emphasis on industrial organic contaminants, field studies and remediation in diverse geologic domains including fractured sedimentary rock, clayey aquitards and sandy aquifers. Development of the Discrete Fracture Network Approach for investigating contamination in fractured rock. Current Responsibilities Conduct research in the field of contaminant hydrogeology, secure and manage research funds from external sources; supervise graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and research associates; project management including Associate Director of University Consortium for Field Focused Groundwater Contamination Research; manage an organic contaminant analysis laboratory and co-manage field investigation facilities; teach graduate course in groundwater contaminant in fractured media and occasionally an undergraduate course (physical hydrogeology); employ undergraduate co-op research assistants.

Re: Letter of Intent for a research project by Dr. Emmanuelle Arnaud

To Whom it May Concern:

I am writing in support of a research project submission to your program by Dr. Emmanuelle Arnaud. Her project builds on successes, demonstrated by her team, with a previous strategic investment in groundwater quality monitoring instrumentation at the Arkell Research Station. Far too few of these types of studies have been done with this level of detail and care to represent field conditions so well in both geographic space (including multi-level depths) and time (superior monitoring frequency). Her team seeks to broaden our understanding of bedrock aquifer groundwater quality sensitivity to agricultural management practice impacts on the farm fields above them. Their recent monitoring findings at this Arkell site showed clearly that a spike of E. coli contamination occurred at depth in the bedrock aquifer immediately following a manure application. Although it was short-lived, this well-documented event alerts us to the need for much more of this kind of detailed groundwater monitoring to better inform about the sensitivities of these agricultural landscape settings in Ontario, the resiliency of their aquifers to this introduced contamination, and opportunities for farmer due diligence to inform local landowners and authorities of time windows of potential public health threats from their manure management activities.

Please contact me if you require any additional information.

Sincerely,
