Emily Smenderovac

Watershed Ecologist

Trained in microbial ecology and bioinformatic analysis of community datasets.

I completed my M.Sc. Forestry studying microbial community structures in coarse woody residues and harvesting impacted soils from sites in Ontario, Canada. I enjoy R coding, troubleshooting and teaching, lab work and, field work.
