Ashlee Jollymore

Ph.D., P.Geo.

 

Description

Ashlee is a hydrologist with a broad range of interests. During her PhD, she focused on forest hydrology, and then her work at the River Forecast Centre shifted her focus to droughts and floods. Now at MacHydro Ashlee is free to explore an even greater variety of hydrologic aspects, taking interest in climate change impacts, hydrologic extremes, and how water is able to connect people and reflect what is happening on the landscape around it.

 

Habitat

Ashlee is indigenous to Grande Prairie, Alberta, but she has migrated extensively across Canada, living in Montreal and Vancouver at different points in her life. She now calls Fernie, BC, home, though it is unclear how long she will remain settled in this cold and mountainous environment. For the time being, Ashlee appears to be content nesting in the mountains with her husband, Paul, and their dog, Geddy, the spicy Bernese Mountain Dog-Aussie Shepard mix.

 

Life History

Ashlee has perplexed researchers with her unique life history characteristics. She started her academic career in 2006 when she received her BSc in Chemistry from McGill and then her MSc in Chemistry from the University of British Columbia in 2009. Ashlee then underwent metamorphosis in 2017 and switched her focus to hydrology when she received her PhD in Resource Management and Environmental Studies from the University of British Columbia. Ashlee is now a Geoscientist in Training with EGBC.

 

Predation/Conservation

Researchers have been concerned about Ashlee’s tendency always to be busy. When not at work, Ashlee can be found volunteering on the board of the Elk River Alliance, recreating outdoors, including biking, hiking, gardening, and camping, or sporadically and enthusiastically crafting. While there are concerns about Ashlee’s propensity to participate in many activities, her close relative, the busy beaver, appears to be doing alright.
