Biography

Research profile:

The impact of climate change and variability on water resources is a pressing issue for northern boreal freshwater landscapes in Canada. Water in these regions plays a central role in maintaining the ecological integrity of ecosystems, economic development and prosperity, and traditional use of the land and its resources by indigenous communities. In the Peace-Athabasca-Slave River Corridor in western Canada, shrinking headwater glaciers, decreasing alpine snowmelt runoff, and declining river discharges impact sustainability of hydroelectric and oil sands production and the vitality of floodplain ecosystems of the Peace-Athabasca and Slave river deltas. In the Old Crow Flats of northern Yukon Territory, declining lake and river water levels threaten wildlife populations and cultural activities of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation. In Wapusk National Park in northeastern Manitoba, over 10,000 lakes provide key habitat for large populations of wildlife, but their hydrological fate under conditions of continued warming is uncertain. Inadequate short- and long-term understanding of hydroecological variability and its relationship to climate change have historically impeded informed stewardship of water resources in these remote landscapes and presents a significant challenge to managers and policy-makers.

In partnership with organizations that include northern First Nation communities, educational institutions, government agencies, and industry, my research program (formerly supported by the NSERC Northern Research Chair program in Northern Hydroecology) targets critical water-related issues in the Peace-Athabasca-Slave River Corridor, the Old Crow Flats and the Hudson Bay Lowlands. Research approaches focus on integrating contemporary hydroecological studies spearheaded by the use of water isotope tracers with quantitative long-term (past centuries to millennia) records of hydroecological changes derived from analyses of lake sediment cores using state-of-the-art analytical techniques. This program of research has provided exceptional northern research opportunities for students in biology, earth sciences, and physical geography who have received an enhanced level of multidisciplinary training in the field of northern hydroecology. The temporal insight gained from these approaches has informed stewardship of these important ecosystems to contemporary conditions and in light of projected future scenarios.
