Non-Technical Publications
These are pieces that I’ve written for fun or because I thought the topic was important. I am the sole author of these articles unless indicated otherwise. I also blogged extensively about my thesis research on the Fraser River for the Global Rivers Observatory and I occasionally blog about the intersection of environmental science and society on Medium. For articles behind paywalls, please contact me through LinkedIn for a copy.
