Wendy J. Pabich is an environmental scientist, educator, adventurer and artist obsessed with all things water. As the founder and president of Water Futures, Inc., Wendy works to find innovative solutions to one of the planet’s most pressing problems – the quest for sustainable water. Her passion for mountains, outdoor adventure and other cultures has taken her to places near and far – including Alaska, Patagonia, and the Himalaya – to explore on skis, on foot and by water. She has taught for MIT and the Sierra Institute and holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from the Parsons Water Resources Laboratory at MIT, an M.S. in Urban Studies and Planning from MIT, an M.S. in Geology from Duke University and a B.A. in Geography from Dartmouth College. She has published numerous papers in peer-reviewed science journals and speaks frequently to diverse audiences on water-related topics. Her first book, Idaho: An Explorer’s Guide (The Countryman Press 2008), was published last fall. As an artist, Wendy seeks solace and expresses her gratitude for this beautiful world through color and form. Visit her work at www.wendypabich.com and The Green Antelope Gallery.
