Nathalie Maurer returned to work with SHA as she recently graduated with her MSc in Resource Management from the Institute of Resources, Environment and Sustainability (IRES) at UBC where she focused her research on residential water demand and management in the Okanagan Basin, BC.  She also holds a BSc degree in Geological Engineering (environmental option) from Queen’s University.  Ms. Maurer began work with SHA in September, 2004, and has since been involved in design and closure projects as well as QA/QC work.  During her years at Queen’s, her education focused on geo-environmental issues related to hydrogeology and contaminated site remediation, and geotechnical subjects such as slope stability and risk analysis.  Ms. Maurer has gained experience in landfill final cover design, volume analysis, filling plans, surveying and stability analysis.
