KATHERINE HANLY

PhD Candidate at the University of Calgary

About me

I am a PhD Candidate in Geography at the University of Calgary, studying the vulnerability and adaptability of mountain guides to climate change in Banff National Park. I started my academic career at the University of Calgary in 2011, studying Physical Geography (B.Sc. Hons) part-time while I competed on the National Long-Track Speed Skating Team. Upon retirement from sport, I completed my M.Sc. at the University of Ottawa in Environmental Policy & Sustainability.

Research

My research interests lie at the intersection of climate change and the human experience, primarily in the mountain cryosphere of the Canadian Rockies.

Contributions

As an aspiring academic, committed to knowledge production and dissemination, I am working hard to create and share thoughtful contributions to my field.
