Author Description
Jezra Beaulieu, Water Resources Specialist, Nooksack Indian Tribe: Jezra holds a MS in geology from Western Washington University (2012). Her thesis focused on the thermal and hydrological contributions of rock glaciers in the Sierra Nevada. Jezra has eight years of professional experience in these fields. She coordinates water quantity and quality field studies in the Nooksack River watershed to establish baseline conditions, provide data for modeling the hydrologic system, and project future climate change impacts. Jezra investigates the glacier melt contribution (baseflow and temperature) to streamflow and sediment dynamics in the Nooksack watershed and subsequent implications for salmon habitat with continued climate change.
