Jules, congratulations on the new job!!! I gather you're moving from Quebec to Ontario, so it will be a bit of a different "culture" in that area.
BTW, what is your field?
Cheers and good luck!!!

Hi guys! thanks!
Eagle - while my masters project did involve salmon habitat, my field is actually fluvial geomorphology. basically i study rivers. so this job will look a lot at erosion thersholds and flood thresholds sometimes in natural conditions and sometimes if someone wants to build something that interferes with the river.

Jules,
i know Canada is big into hydroelectric power, are fluvial geomorphologists employed in preconstruction analysis for these dams? is that the kind of thing you'd do?

certain parts of canada are big into hydro... specifically the north, west, and east... wehre there are mountains and therefore high energy rivers. while i don't think we have any contracts of the sort at the moment, i have colleagues that have done those types of analyses. re aligning channels, also erosion potential of putting in a bridge (putting in the concrete for the bridge causes scour). apparently we have a contract out east lookingat mining effects on the turbidity of the river, too. we have a bunch of contracts in the n-e us too.
