Finding keys to salmon resiliency through research

Sustainable fish populations depend on resilient ecosystems. With climate change, habitat loss and other environmental pressures posing significant threats to both fish stocks and their habitats, researchers at UNBC’s Quesnel River Research Centre (QRRC) are working to understand the impacts of those pressures on salmon and develop strategies to preserve salmon species for future generations.

Research and Expertise

I am interested understanding how glaciers have responded to past changes in climate through the application of various geochronologic methods, most notably cosmogenic surface exposure dating. My research interests are expanding to include geohazards, the influence of climate change on geohazards, and their impact on society.
