Dr. Camille Ouellet Dallaire
Assistant Professor, Environment & Sustainability and Environmental Science
Dr. Camille Ouellet Dallaire received her PhD in Geography from McGill University, Montreal, Canada. Her pursuit of Geography developed critical and cross-scalar thinking that still supports her research today. While at McGill, she founded the Sustainability Research Symposium and studied global hydrology, ecosystem services and watershed management. Following her PhD, she worked as a policy analyst on the future of geoscience at the Geological Survey of Canada and as a senior impact assessment analyst for Natural Resources Canada. In these positions, her broad and interdisciplinary perspective advance her research on the science-policy interface in the context of sustainability. Her research explores the cumulative and intersectional impacts of natural resource exploitation on ecosystem services, interdisciplinary research integration, and large-scale modelling and analyses of sustainable watershed management. She is a Québecoise and a feminist.
