Rita Winkler is a Canadian Research Hydrologist working at the British Columbia Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations
Winkler is a Registered Professional Forester (RPF) with over 35 years of experience in forestry, applied hydrology, and water-related research.[1][2] Winkler was an adjunct professor at Thompson Rivers University (formerly Cariboo College) and the University of British Columbia.[2]
Education
[edit]Winkler received a BSF in Forest Management from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in 1978, an MSc in Forest Hydrology from the University of Alberta in 1980, and a PhD in Forest Hydrology from UBC in 2001.[3]
Winkler says Star Trek inspired her to become involved with science. She also benefited from the science teacher she had during seventh grade.[4]
Awards
[edit]Named Honorary Fellow from Okanagan College in 2016 for her work in forest hydrology.[5]
Research
[edit]Upper Penticton Creek Watershed Experiment.[6]
Selected Publications
[edit]- Changing forest water yields in response to climate warming: results from long-term experimental watershed sites across North America, in Global Change Biology[7]
- Diagnosing a distributed hydrologic model for two high-elevation forested catchments based on detailed stand- and basin-scale data, in Water Resources Research[8]
- Effects of forestry on summertime low flows and physical fish habitat in snowmelt-dominant headwater catchments on the Pacific Northwest, in Hydrological Processes[9]
