This Mitacs-funded project is part of a larger research initiative focused on hydrological model development being undertaken through a collaboration between Selkirk College (Selkirk Innovates), UNBC, UBC and forest industry partners but will be based in Prince George, BC.
The position is a master’s-level research project that will be jointly supervised by Dr. Tara Clapp (UNBC faculty) and Dr. Kim Green (Selkirk Innovates faculty). The project will require a multidisciplinary approach that includes integrating concepts and principles from the fields of hydrology, geomorphology, landscape and forest ecology and BC provincial land management policy. Study outcomes will be used to inform the broader hydrological modelling research project and as well, provide valuable information for watershed managers and planners throughout the study area.
