Research Area: Forest Hydrology
Awards
Research Focus: Forest hydrology and Eco-hydrology focusing on impacts of climate associated forest disturbance (wildfire, Mountain Pine Beetle) and forest management including forestry operations on hydrology, water quality, and aquatic ecology of riverine environments. Research focuses on snowpacks, evaporative processes, surface- and sub-surface hillslope processes, erosion, biogeochemistry, streamflow dynamics, and aquatic ecology.
Research Platforms: Established and leads leads the Southern Rockies Watershed Project; a large instrumented watershed research platform in the Crowsnest Pass and Waterton Lakes region of southwest Alberta. This watershed research observatory includes a network of 36 current/historic gauged watersheds with a network of 19 climate stations stations. Co-leads the NSERC forWater network; a national network of instrumented watershed platforms and researchers focused on protecting drinking water sources from Canada's forested regions coast to coast.
