Fiona Chapman
Student Engagement Director - Geothermal Canada
PhD Candidate - INRS
Fiona is a PhD candidate who holds a BSc in Environment with a minor in Geology from McGill University (2019) and completed her MSc in Earth Sciences at McMaster University. In 2021, she joined Jasmin Raymond’s Geothermal team at the Institut national de la recherche scientifique, centre Eau Terre Environment.
Currently, Fiona's primary research objective revolves around evaluating the geothermal potential around Lhu’aan Man (Kluane Lake) in southwestern Yukon. This project is in partnership with the Yukon Geological Survey and Kluane First Nation. Fiona is using a combination of fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and modelling to estimate the geothermal potential. This research will provide fundamental knowledge for Kluane First Nations to make informed decisions about further geothermal energy exploration and development on their traditional territory.
