Meet Our 2009 Summer Technicians! Summer is here again, and with it comes another season of lake sampling through our Lakewatch program! Cristen and Noemie are our two new summer technicians. They will be busy traveling the province and sampling Alberta lakes with volunteers! If you are interested in having your lake tested next year click here for more information.

Cristen is a geologist currently completing a Master's degree in geochemistry at the University of Alberta. She prefers working outside, particularly in remote locations and has enjoyed field work in Montana, Alberta, and the Yukon and Northwest Territories. Last summer she searched for gold in the Yukon while working for a gold exploration company. Cristen is interested in aquatic environments and is excited to be working with ALMS this summer. In her spare time she likes hiking, rock hunting, swimming and watching science fiction movies with her husband. Recently introduced to birdwatching, she is hoping to find lots of birds out on the lakes this summer.

Noemie recently graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Conservation Sciences. Her last three summers were spent in the field trapping mosquitoes for the West Nile virus program. She has traveled to far away places including the Galapagos Islands, Australia and Cambodia but is now looking forward to becoming more acquainted with her own province as a Lakewatch technician with ALMS. Noemie welcomes any opportunity to be outside and likes to tackle the Rocky Mountains on her snowboard, canoe and camp. During her downtime out in the field, you'll likely find her sitting around the fire perfecting her knitting skills.
