Winkler is a Registered Professional Forester (RPF) with over 35 years of experience in forestry, applied hydrology, and water-related research. [1] [2] Winkler was an adjunct professor at Thompson Rivers University (formerly Cariboo College) and the University of British Columbia. [2]

Education

Winkler received a BSF in Forest Management from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in 1978, an MSc in Forest Hydrology from the University of Alberta in 1980, and a PhD in Forest Hydrology from UBC in 2001. [3]

Winkler says Star Trek inspired her to become involved with science. She also benefited from the science teacher she had during seventh grade. [4]

Awards

Named Honorary Fellow from Okanagan College in 2016 for her work in forest hydrology. [5]

Research
