Title of Talk:
What the Heck I Did on my Study Leave
Short Bio:
I am a hydrologist interested in groundwater sustainability, regional- to continental-scale groundwater systems, groundwater-surface water interactions and fluid flow around geologic structures. I address these varied research interests by integrating disciplines that are not often combined: geocomputation, data science, numerical modelling, field hydrogeology, structural geology, and sustainability science. I love new ideas and experiences, food and yoga, and helping people and the world. I grew up in Iroquois territory near the Six Nations of the Grand River and live and work on unceded Songhees, Esquimalt and WSÁNEĆ Territories. I am a settler Canadian with mixed European ancestry (pronouns he/him) who is aware of the many unearned privileges that come with being white, male, cis-gendered, able bodied and well educated.
