Staff Research Highlight - Spatiotemporal estimation of groundwater and surface water conditions by integrating deep learning and physics-based watershed models
We’re pleased to highlight this publication, co-authored by Aquanty’s senior scientist, Hyoun-Tae Hwang, which focuses on the integration of deep learning (DL) models with physics-based hydrological models to enhance the efficiency of estimating spatiotemporal groundwater and surface water conditions.
Staff Research Highlight - Effects of soil heterogeneity and preferential flow on the water flow and isotope transport in an experimental hillslope
We’re pleased to highlight this publication, co-authored by Aquanty’s senior scientist, Hyoun-Tae Hwang, which examines the water sources and threshold behaviours of streamflow generation in a mountain headwater catchment.
HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – The HypoSalar project: Integrating hyporheic exchange fluxes into Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) spawning habitat models
In this research highlight ultra-fine resolution HydroGeoSphere models are used to simulate hyporheic exchange fluxes in river reaches used by Atlantic salmon for spawning. The HypoSalar project is contributing to demonstrate that the capabilities of HydroGeoSphere are not exclusively related to the field of hydrogeology, but can be used for both fluvial geomorphology and ecological studies due to HydroGeoSphere's flexibility and superior modeling approach.
Staff Research Highlight - Assessment of hydraulic and thermal properties of the Antarctic active layer: Insights from laboratory column experiments and inverse modelling
We’re pleased to highlight this publication, co-authored by Aquanty’s senior scientist, Hyoun-Tae Hwang, which investigates the hydraulic and thermal properties of the Antarctic active layer using laboratory column experiments and HydroGeoSphere (HGS) for inverse modeling.

We’re pleased to highlight this publication, co-authored by Aquanty’s senior scientist, Hyoun-Tae Hwang, which examines the water sources and threshold behaviours of streamflow generation in a mountain headwater catchment.
Staff Research Highlight - Development of a fully integrated hydrological fate and transport model for plant protection products: incorporating groundwater, tile drainage, and runoff
This research investigates how the integrated hydrological modelling of plant protection products (PPPs) such as pesticides can provide a more comprehensive understanding of their environmental behavior across groundwater, surface water, and tile drainage systems.
Staff Research Highlight - Improving monitoring network design to detect leaks at hazardous facilities: Lessons from a CO2 storage site
This research specifically utilizes the Korea CO₂ Storage Environmental Management (K-COSEM) test site to develop methodologies that address the challenges posed by uncertainty in detecting subsurface leakages.
HGS HIGHLIGHT – Estimating cumulative wastewater treatment plant discharge influences on acesulfame and Escherichia coli in a highly impacted watershed with a fully-integrated modelling approach
In this research highlight, researchers used HydroGeoSphere (HGS) to explore the impact of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) discharge on surface water contamination in a mixed-use watershed in Ontario, Canada. The study focused on tracking acesulfame, a commonly used artificial sweetener, and Escherichia coli (E. coli), a fecal indicator, to understand how these contaminants move between surface and groundwater systems. Understanding the interactions between surface water and groundwater is critical in watersheds where WWTP discharge contributes to regional water quality concerns.
Staff Research Highlight - Climate Change Impacts on Mountain Snowpacks
We’re happy to highlight a new publication co-authored by Aquanty’s senior data scientist, Dr. Andre Erler, focused on the expected impacts that climate change will have on snow depth in mountainous regions. This research relies solely on regional climate projections and employs a very similar model configuration (WRF version 4). The WRF simulations used in this paper are described in detail in Erler & Peltier (2017).
Staff Research Highlight - Great Lakes Basin Heat Waves
We’re pleased to highlight new research co-authored by C1W collaborators at Aquanty (Andre Erler) and the University of Toronto (Dr. Richard Peltier). This new paper explores the effects of climate change and greenhouse gases on extreme heat events in the Great Lakes region.
