Ed A. McBean, D.WRE. (he/him/his)

Professor of Water Resources Engineering
University of Guelph

Ed McBean is a former Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Water Supply Security and now University of Guelph Research Leadership Chair Professor, Water Security. In that context, he relies upon statistical interpretation of data, fate and transport of chemicals and pathogens in the environment, and risk assessment/ management, to determine how features of water supply risk may arise. Hence, there are dimensions of a number of features including climate change and fate and transport modeling as applied to water resources phenomena. In addition to the above, Ed also has extensive experience in waste management, and greenhouse gas emissions as contributory to global climate change.
