Greg Courtice, PhD, P.Eng.
Principal Engineer, Applied Ecohydraulics
Greg Courtice is a water resources engineer with 14 years of experience working at the intersection of ecological systems, hydrotechnical design, and infrastructure delivery. He holds a PhD in Civil Engineering and internationally recognized body of research on in-stream construction impacts.
Greg brings deep technical expertise to the practical challenges of working in and around water, specializing in river and landform solutions for complex and sensitive environments.
Ecological Systems
Understanding how rivers, species, and systems interact.
Hydrotechnical Design
Modeling flows, designing resilient structures.
Infrastructure Delivery
Grounded in construction realities and delivery timelines.
As founder of Applied Ecohydraulics, Greg’s work bridges academic rigor and real-world demands grounded in first-principles thinking, informed by ecological processes, and shaped by a strong understanding of how projects get built. He has led projects across Canada in a wide range of contexts, from remote Arctic headwaters to urbanized floodplains and major working rivers.
He’s known for securing permits in challenging regulatory environments, working effectively with agencies, and staying hands-on through construction. Where many engineers step back at implementation, Greg stays involved—making timely, real-world design decisions that improve constructability and avoid delays.
Whether restoring fish habitat, managing sediment, or designing flood mitigation infrastructure, Greg delivers solutions that are resilient, practical, and context-sensitive, grounded in both science and experience.
