Ashley is a Research Associate at the University of Saskatchewan at Canmore. Ashley’s research has focused in four broad areas: (i) geophysical numerical analysis; (ii) large-scale hydrology simulation; (iii) glacier-process modeling; and (iv) tropical land-atmosphere interactions. Ashley has published her work leading international journals, including Journal of Geophysical Research, Water Resources Research, and Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics.
