University of Northern British Columbia
Stephen Dery joined the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) on Lheidli T'enneh territory in 2005 as a faculty member and as a Canada Research Chair. He is now a full professor in UNBC's Department of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences where he leads the Northern Hydrometeorology Group and holds the NSERC/ Rio Tinto Senior Industrial Research Chair in climate change and water security focusing on the Nechako Watershed. Dr. Dery is also a founding and active member of UNBC's Integrated Watershed Research Group (IWRG) that brings a holistic approach to integrated research on the vast and complex Nechako Watershed. In collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders and the IWRG, his team investigates the consequences of climate change and water management on the long-term water security of the Nechako Watershed and other basins. A major aspect of this research is to better monitor, understand and project climate conditions, water temperatures and streamflows both in pristine and regulated waterways of the Nechako Watershed.
