Bio/Research

Dr. Levison is conducting novel research related to agricultural and climate change impacts on groundwater quality and quantity, with a focus on sensitive fractured bedrock aquifers. Other areas of research interest include source water protection, appropriate potable water approaches for marginalized communities, and fostering engineering and technological input into public discourse.

In 2009-2010 she led engineering and public policy initiatives as the Junior Fellow and Acting Executive Director of the Ontario Centre for Engineering and Public Policy at Professional Engineers Ontario. She has also worked at the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority on the Drinking Water Source Protection team. Currently, she is an associate editor for "Hydrogeology Journal".

Levison is a professional engineer, with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering (environmental option) and a PhD.in civil engineering (focus: anthropogenic impacts on fractured bedrock aquifers) from Queen's University. She is an associate professor in the School of Engineering (Water Resources Engineering and G360 Institute for Groundwater Research) at the University of Guelph.

Previously, Levison was a postdoctoral fellow at the Université du Québec à Montréal, working on multidisciplinary ecohydrological modelling related to climate change.
