Biography

Dr. Stadnyk’s interdisciplinary research combines engineering, environmental, and earth and planetary sciences to understand large-scale, continental water resource supply. She has developed a unique hydrologic modelling system that combines isotope tracers with continuous, distributed hydrologic simulation to improve long-term projections of continental runoff. Her research includes pan-Canadian water supply projection; advances in Canadian hydrologic forecasting; tracer-aided modeling; and data and monitoring networks. Together, they contribute to improving hydrological knowledge and forecasting and understanding how climate change will impact water availability. Dr. Stadnyk is leading paradigm shifts in hydrology and pan-Arctic systems modelling.
