Crystal Huscroft

While at SFU Crystal conducted her thesis work on the glacial, volcanic and fluvial history of the Yukon River valley near Fort Selkirk. Since graduating she moved to Whitehorse to work for the Yukon Geological Survey and teach at Yukon College for two years. while working with the Yukon geological survey, her primary research project involved characterizing landslide hazards along the Alaska Highway Corridor. She currently teaches geomorphology and hydrology and Thompson Rivers University. Her current research involves surficial geology mapping in the central interior of British Columbia and Wells Gray Park.
