Round Tables (Friday afternoon)

"Water is essential for life. My fascination with water started as a kid, when I’d sit by rushing mountain streams, watching the water toss and turn over the rocks. I am now a hydrogeologist at the Alberta Geological Survey where I map and model Alberta’s precious groundwater resources to balance groundwater use with sustainability." - Dr. Jessica Liggett

Ashley's Bio

Ashley Johnson | Education and Outreach Coordinator, Athabasca Watershed Council
Projects in Action Workshops (Saturday morning)

My name is Ashley Johnson, and I’m the Education and Outreach Coordinator for the Athabasca Watershed Council. I completed my B.Sc. in Palaeontology, but along the way I developed a passion for science communication. When I’m not at my desk or doing outreach, I’m often either looking for cool rocks and fossils (which can be found almost anywhere in Alberta!) or learning more about watersheds and all the weird wonders across them.
