Background

About Dave Huebert

I am a highly collaborative, team oriented scientist that has demonstrated success in proposal development, monitoring program design and implementation, data analysis and interpretation, scientific methods development, written and oral presentation of findings, and leadership and supervision of scientific teams. Critical thinking is my particular strength, based on decades of experience and an ability to synthesize large amounts of data and information into often novel or surprising insights. I am a registered professional biologist in both Alberta and British Columbia, specializing in aquatic and terrestrial ecology and toxicology. I completed my PhD in the Department of Botany at the University of Manitoba in 1992, where I focused my studies on the interaction of environmental and chemical factors on assessment of cadmium toxicity in the duckweed, Lemna trisulca. Subsequent to obtaining my PhD, I worked as an independent contract scientist with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans at the Experimental Lakes Area, and as a sessional instructor at a variety of educational institutions in Winnipeg, Manitoba. As a consultant, initially hired in 2004 by TetrES Consultants Inc. and most recently with AECOM, I have worked on a variety of projects in the mining, oil and gas, clean energy, municipal, and industrial sectors. My work has included baseline characterization, environmental assessment, environmental effects monitoring plan design and implementation, adaptive management plan design and implementation, environmental compliance monitoring, and third-party reviews of environmental assessment reports for both government and First Nations organizations. Through my consulting practice I have gained a working knowledge of both permitting and compliance environmental regulations across Western Canada and into the Northwest Territories and the Yukon.
