Research Highlight - Rising importance of economic valuation of ecosystem services in protecting Canada's vital resources
As part of Aquanty’s ongoing “Lunch ‘n’ Learn” our newest team member (Dr. Tariq Aziz) had the chance to present his recent research on quantifying the 'hidden' value offered by Southern Ontario's ecosystems. The valuation of ecosystem services is something that Aquanty believes strongly in, and we're excited to welcome Dr. Aziz to the team so he can help us to translate HydroGeoSphere model outputs into economic metrics that are more relevant for water resources professionals and policy makers.
Research for Industries (RFI) Lecture Series: Steven K. Frey
Aquanty, which is a research spin off from the University of Waterloo, is at the forefront of developing state-of-the-art fully-integrated hydrologic models to better understand and predict water resource behavior and availability under both near term weather, and long term climate change scenarios. Aquanty’s flagship software platform, HydroGeoSphere (HGS), is a state-of-the-art fully-integrated GW-SW simulator that can couple with both weather forecasts and future climate scenarios in order to derive predictive insight on water resources. As part of the continental scale Canada 1 Water (C1W) project, HGS models are being built for all of Canada.
"Athabasca River Basin High-Res Modelling of the Impact of Climate Change" - Webinar hosted by COSIA
On September 16th, 2021 Aquanty's senior scientist Hyoun-Tae Hwang delivered a webinar discussing our recent work in modelling the impacts of climate change in the Athabasca River Basin using HydroGeoSphere. We would like to thank Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA) for the opportunity to present this most recent research, which follows on several years of partnerships to model the ARB in high-resolution using HydroGeoSphere, Aquanty’s cutting edge integrated hydrologic modeling platform.
