Lisa Verbisky has a Master’s of Science degree from the University of Alberta. She has worked on major projects: a salmon survey in northern Quebec, a project investigating biodiversity of pre- and post-harvest sites on Alberta Pacific’s forestry management area, and a chrono sequence comparing diversity of fire versus harvest disturbed stands in northwestern Alberta.
Although her primary focus has been landscape ecology, she developed a passion for soils while living and working in the Peace Region in Northern BC. As the instructor of a land reclamation diploma, Lisa developed her knowledge in this field to pass this skill on to her students. Lisa is the Associate Dean at the Donald School of Business, Science and Technology (RDP).
