MSc Researcher Shayna Meinzinger Highlights Wetland Emission Research on World Wetlands Day and World Water Day

Shayna Meinzinger, master’s student at the University of Waterloo and member of the Solutionscapes Wetland Team, presented her poster titled Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Emission Dynamics in Restored Wetlands, at two events, the University of Waterloo’s 13th Annual World Wetlands Day on February 3, 2025, and the Water Institute’s World Water Day on March 21, 2025.

Shayna’s research examines greenhouse gas emissions from restored wetlands in southern Ontario, clarifying how restoration design influences methane and carbon dioxide fluxes. The findings help inform wetland restoration strategies that support both climate mitigation and ecological health.
