Research Interests: Ecological connectivity; Landscape resilience; Sustainable resource management; Complex adaptive systems and complexity science; Natural resources management; Agroforestry; Modelling and GIS; Climate change adaptation and mitigation.

Research Interests: Formation and evolution of mineral deposits; structural geology and petrology; geological processes (magmatism, tectonics, deformation and metamorphism) controlling the distribution of critical metals.

Research Interests: Ecohydrology; hydrogeology; hydrological connectivity; isotope hydrology; source water partitioning; watershed hydrology

Research Interests: Biodiversity conservation in agro-ecosystems;Landscape ecology and sustainable land management; Entomology and integrated pest management

Research Interests: The objective of this project is to quantify the relative contributions of climate variability and forest disturbance to runoff in snow-dominated watersheds. To achieve this, we have developed an XAI-based framework for quantification. We also conduct a BC-regional study using this method to explore how watershed properties influence runoff responses. This research supports localized water management strategies and helps mitigate floods and droughts.

Research Interests: Mineral grain boundary nanostructures; epitaxial crystal growth; transmission electron microscopy

Research Interests: The aim of the project is to develop a spatial model of the Okanagan landscape that characterizes the socio-ecological dynamics of wildfire management and predicts the potential environmental outcomes of wildfire mitigation strategies. For this research, input from local stakeholders and experts will be sought on what mitigation strategies might be acceptable, and what key concerns exist regarding the impacts of wildfire.

Research Interests: Environmental impact assessment; biodiversity protection and promotion; Indigenous knowledge and consultation; Canadian environmental policy/law.

Research Interests: Indigenous Fire Stewardship; fire ecology; plant community ecology; ethnobotany; ecosystem restoration; Traditional Ecological Knowledge; Indigenous community-led research

Research Interests: Detrital zircon geochronology; basin analysis; Precambrian history of the Canadian Shield.

Research Interests: My research is mainly related to the streamflow processes in forest watersheds. I am also interested in the remote sensing, snow hydrology, large-scale hydrology, machine learning and geochemical tracers.

Research Interests: Source water tracing; stable isotopes; wetland biogeochemistry

Research Interests: Urban resilience is a concept which can be used to examine the readiness for urban centres to withstand, adapt to, absorb, respond to, and recovery from acute or chronic stresses. To help cities improve their resilience, several multidisciplinary frameworks have been developed in academe and the non-profit sector. This research will explore how urban resilience is being implemented within Canadian cities.

Research Interests: The examination of groundwater and stream interaction through alluvial fans in the Okanagan water-shed. Incorporation of water isotope, radon and trace element analysis will be implemented to determine the extent of interaction and assess groundwater recharge.
