Securing the world's water
Professor John Pomeroy (BSc’83, PhD’88), a hydrology professor at the University of Saskatchewan and Canada Research Chair in Water Resources and Climate Change, was in great demand by the media during the Alberta floods of 2013. He also hosted a houseful of stranded travellers at his home in Canmore during the flooding.
