Keeping phosphorus in the fields and out of Lake Winnipeg

Mon. Nov. 24, 2025

A federally funded UWinnipeg research team, with many faculty from the Master's in Environmental and Social Change program,  is creating a targeted map of phosphorus runoff hotspots in the Red River basin during Manitoba’s annual snowmelt.

When the project is complete, it will give future scientists studying Lake Winnipeg a fuller and more accurate picture of phosphorus runoff during snowmelt. That data will be crucial to solutions going forward.
