Ariane Cantin, Ph.D., is a scientist, teacher, and outdoor enthusiast. She started her career as a biologist focused on aquatic ecology, studying freshwater ecosystems and fisheries. She now works as an instructor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Calgary where she teaches ecology courses. Her connection with the outdoors guides both her research interests and her teaching approach.
