great research = first rate teaching Dr. April James, Associate Professor in Geography and a Canada Research Chair (CRC), studies how water moves through watersheds, from rainfall to streamflow, how long it resides, and what flowpaths water takes as it makes its journey. Her research has important applications for watershed health and management, water quality, and ecological health. Dr. James established Nipissing’s Integrative Watershed Research Centre and her research is currently supported by the CRC program, Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) and the National Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC).
