Master’s Students

Isabella Bowman

MASc Candidate, School of Engineering
bowmani@uoguelph.ca

Isabella completed her BSc in Honours Earth Sciences with a Hydrogeology Specialization from the University of Waterloo. Her past research has included studying the geochemical evolution of water quality in the Waterloo Moraine. She has had the opportunity to work in the Heavy Metal Isotope Geochemistry Laboratory at the University of Waterloo and be a part of the Water Efficiency team at the Region of Waterloo. Isabella is looking forward to further studying groundwater resources and will be investigating hydrogeologic properties and characteristics of the Elora buried bedrock valley using downhole hydraulic testing and dynamic monitoring techniques.

Kacper Halama

MASc Student
khalama@uoguelph.ca

Kacper has an Honours BSc in Geology from the University of Acadia (2012). He’s a P.Geo and has worked in mineral exploration and mining for over 10 years. As a proud father of two, he is looking for new challenges, and a chance to contribute his field experience and structural geology knowledge into a career in Hydrogeology. At the Morwick G360 Groundwater Research Institute, he looks forward to learning the field techniques used by hydrogeologists and develop his understanding of hydrogeological processes, especially in fractured bedrock.  

Tobiloba Onipe

MASc Student
onipet@uoguelph.ca 

Tobiloba completed his BSc in Geology at Ekiti State University, Nigeria and obtained an honours degree in Hydrology and Water Resources (Hydrology specialization) from the University of Venda, South Africa. His previous research focused on source mapping and geochemical characterization of naturally occurring fluoride in groundwater. Tobiloba gained experience with Morwick G360 this past summer as a co-op student and has started his MASc with the institute in September of 2024.

Zachary Walker

MASc Candidate, School of Engineering
walkerz@uoguelph.ca

Zack completed his Honours BSc in Earth/Environmental Systems and Human Geography at the University of Toronto, where he participated in field work and research focusing on glacial geomorphology and sediment transport mechanisms along the Oak Ridges Moraine. This sparked an interest in groundwater remediation and aquifer characterization, which lead him to become a MASc candidate at the Morwick G360 Groundwater Research Institute. He hopes his time with the group will expose him to novel techniques and methods in contaminant hydrogeology research.
