With 20+ years of experience, Ymène has always enjoyed exploring natural environments and living among them. She grew up in Tunisia where she studied geology and environmental engineering. She obtained a master’s degree in environmental studies in Glasgow, Scotland. Her adventures took her to the US where she joined a doctoral program in soil science and conducted field-based research. She measured the components of the water balance and compared various cropping systems in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Post-doctoral research focused on hydrology and nutrient management on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, quantifying nutrient and sediment losses via runoff into the Chesapeake Bay. The source of these nutrients was the intensive poultry industry on the Delmarva Peninsula. This experience led her to the Canadian prairies where she explored beneficial agricultural management practices in nutrient management and water quality in Southeastern Saskatchewan. She then went on to consult for the oil and gas industry in Alberta and assessing soil and groundwater contamination with hydrocarbons and salinity. As an environmental expert, she worked on a project for the International Fund for Agricultural Development on sustainable agricultural practices in eastern Senegal. Currently based in Calgary, she works independently as an environmental soil scientist and hydrogeologist, sings in two Calgary choirs, and volunteers as an interpreter for the Calgary Catholic Immigration Society.
Alfredo is a Professional Agrologist with more than 20 years of experience in agriculture and the environment, primarily as a soil scientist. He has successfully managed contaminated site remediation, land reclamation and soil conservation projects throughout western Canada, on agricultural land, native prairie land as well as forested and peat land sites. Alfredo has conducted baseline soil surveys for pipeline construction and reclamation applications, as well as pre-development site assessments and soil monitoring programs as part of operating approvals. He has experience in environmental monitoring for construction of wellsites, as well as has provided field support to pipeline, powerline construction and monitoring teams. On the downstream side, Alfredo has participated in tank removal programs in Saskatchewan and Alberta as well as implemented risk management programs at decommissioned gas stations.

Carol is a native Calgarian and professional biologist who has spent time tromping around the foothills of Alberta riding horses, watching birds, camping and backpacking. Her 15 years + of experience has led her to be skilled at understanding human-wildlife interactions, environmental impacts, habitat restoration and wildlife management. Her wish is to combine her skills in ecology, biodiversity, species at risk and collaboration to solve environmental and sustainability problems. She has an in-depth understanding of natural resource policy and regulatory frameworks in Western Canada. She has coordinated pre-disturbance field programs and completed many environmental audits and inspections for oil and gas facilities and pipelines.
Aimée has 10 years of experience in the environmental field, 6 years as a practicing professional. She is familiar with applications under the Water Act for end pit lakes, pit-to-pit dewatering, or dewatering offsite. She has advised managers and clients on regulatory requirements associated with both Water Act applications and Code of Practices. Part of her work has included completing soil and vegetation assessments where rare plants and species at risk are always a consideration. She has participated in field assessments and coordinated biological field programs including: vegetation, ecological land classification, wetland, wildlife, species at risk, soil classification and monitoring, as well as coordinated and prepared environmental approvals and permits required for projects including Federal, Provincial, and Municipal permits; she has also been involved in First Nation Consultations. In addition, she has worked on environmental impact assessments, Phase 1 and 2 environmental site assessments, detailed site assessments, groundwater monitoring, remediation and reclamation certificate applications.

As a GIS/Remote Sensing Specialist with a background in ecology and forestry, Zoran has gained extensive experience using remote sensing and GIS analysis to examine the effects of anthropogenic disturbances on landscapes, hydrological resources (wetlands and water crossings), vegetation, and wildlife. For over 17 years, he has led multidisciplinary teams in developing and designing spatial analysis processes for the oil and gas, mining, utilities and pipeline industries. Among many national and international projects to which he has contributed, a key highlight of Zoran’s experience is leading the world’s largest landscape area analysis of anthropogenic changes across Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, BC and Alberta. The results gathered from the landscape change analysis were used in habitat modeling, habitat fragmentation and loss analysis, TLU mapping, land use planning, EIA/BIA – cumulative effects assessments, and reviews, pipeline environmental risk assessments, pipeline and road alignment sheets, and wetland mapping. He also developed and executed a methodology for the Avian Hazard Mapping and Risk Assessment for the Oil Sands Region and worked in a partnership with World Resource Institute and Global Forest Watch to map intact areas in boreal forests.
