SCIENTIST BIOGRAPHIES
Dr. Steven Mamet
Research Associate, University of Saskatchewan
Dr. Steven Mamet (Alberta) is a Research Associate at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. Steve’s primary research focuses on controls of species’ range limits and functioning along environmental gradients. He uses bioinformatics, citizen science, long term environmental monitoring, and field/lab experiments to study ecological change in subarctic and alpine treeline environments in northern Canada. Steve has worked with Earthwatch on projects in Churchill since 2003 and the Mackenzie Mountains since 2006.
Dr. LeeAnn Fishback
Scientific Coordinator, Churchill Northern Studies Centre
Dr. Leeann Fishback (Western) is the Scientific Coordinator at the Churchill Northern Studies Centre in Churchill, Manitoba. LeeAnn’s primary research focuses on environmental geochemistry in freshwater lakes and ponds in arctic and subarctic regions of northern Canada. She lives in Churchill, Manitoba full-time as a northern field research scientist supporting field logistics for a wide range of scientific programs. LeeAnn is passionate about the North and she enjoys living and working at her field research site.

YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS
Earthwatch depends on donations—above and beyond what we raise from volunteers who participate on our expeditions—in order to deliver our global conservation mission. In fact, volunteer contributions provide only half of the total resources Earthwatch needs to sustain over 40 field research expeditions, a wide variety of educational programs, corporate sustainability trainings, and more each year.
