Elizabeth Jamieson

Elizabeth Jamieson is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Ottawa and a Senior Engineer with Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), where she serves as the National Lead for Hydrometric Monitoring Technology in the Water Survey of Canada. She is actively engaged in advancing surface water monitoring across Canada through a network of over 2,000 hydrometric stations.

Education:

• Ph.D., Civil Engineering, University of Ottawa
• M.Eng., McGill University
• B.Eng., McGill University

Her research focuses on experimental methods in environmental hydraulics and river morphodynamics, with a strong emphasis on innovative hydrometric techniques such as hydroacoustics and large-scale particle image velocimetry (LSPIV). She also investigates flow discharge uncertainty, contributing to improved accuracy in national water data collection.

While no publications are listed in the provided text, her work centers on applied hydraulics, field-based monitoring, and technological innovation in surface water measurement—key areas for climate resilience and water resource management.
