Dr. Parker's research specializations include:
- Improving characterization, remediation, monitoring technologies and data analysis for aged industrial contaminated sites in complex hydrogeologic settings.
- High-resolution data useful for groundwater resources including protection for private and municipal water supplies in fractured sedimentary rock.
- Evaluating water quantity and quality impacts to surface water and groundwater from natural resource extraction (i.e. mining, upstream oil and gas, permits to take water).
- Improve groundwater flow systems for understanding flow path and fluxes including surface-water interaction.
Parker’s long-term focus has been on quantifying the role of diffusion on various contaminant source zone types and plume evolution, often creating limits to cost-effective remediation. This is synergistic with her long-term interest in the characterization of aquitards to better understand groundwater flow systems, linking recharge areas to discharge areas.
She holds a Senior Industrial Research Chair in Fractured Rock Contaminant Hydrology from the Canadian Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and is the associate director of the University Consortium.
