About

Paige Kowal joined IWWR in 2017. She is involved in water quality and ecological monitoring projects, supervising field-site and seasonal crew members, and geospatial analyses of wetlands and their surrounding landscapes. She has extensive experience studying coastal freshwater marshes in Manitoba (Delta and Netley-Libau Marsh) through her academic and professional work, and now works primarily on quantifying wetland ecosystem services provided by prairie pothole wetlands.

Paige graduated with her M.Sc. from the Biological Sciences Department at the University of Manitoba. Her thesis focused on using GIS and aerial photo interpretation to analyze historical changes in emergent vegetation extent within Netley-Libau Marsh in Manitoba in response to lake and river hydrology.
