Dr. Henry Wilson
Dr. Wilson’s research is providing science that will enhance the agriculture sector’s resiliency to increasing hydrological and climatic variability. This science is focused on the development of knowledge to increase the sectors ability to respond to market demands for sustainably produced products, to mitigate the effects of hydrologic extremes (flooding and drought), to increase efficiency of nutrient use, to increase carbon retention and sequestration, and to develop new opportunities for the agricultural sector to improve water quality and reduce water quantity issues for all stakeholders.
Current research and/or projects
- Sustainable Agricultural Practices for the Lake Winnipeg Basin: Building resilient agroecosystems from field to farm to watershed.
- The Eastern Prairie Living Laboratory.
Research and/or project statements
- Identification of factors controlling carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus runoff from agricultural lands and interaction with climate.
- Improvement of hydrological process understanding and representation in cold-climate agricultural watersheds.
