I will be joining a group of researchers from across Canada researching the impacts of disturbances such as wildfires on drinking water treatability in areas relying on forested source catchments. I will be exploring how the use of parsimonious models can aid in predicting sediment and carbon export from these catchments, and help researchers and experts from these catchments understand possible processes leading to this export at a broad scale.
