Léa Cornette

Undergraduate

I (she/her) am currently in my third year of a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Geography at the University of Montreal. At the moment, I am working on the variability of CO2 fluxes along a permafrost thaw gradient on degrading shorelines of thermokarst lakes in the arctic tundra as my honours research project. This past summer, […]

Nia Perron

PhD Candidate

Trees and water, that is the focus of my PhD work with the AtmosBios Lab. I (she/her) fell in love with research early in my academic career when I was working in boggy forests as an honours student in Forest Ecology at the University of Winnipeg. This desire to learn continued even as sheep devoured […]

Lauren Thompson

PhD Candidate

I (she/her) am a PhD student at the University of Alberta supervised by Dr. David Olefeldt. I completed a BSc in Environmental Science at McGill University, where I studied nutrient cycling in the Mer Bleue Bog fertilization plots under the supervision of Dr. Tim Moore. Currently, I am focused on methylmercury and carbon cycling in […]

Christopher Schulze

PhD Candidate

As a PhD Candidate at the University of Alberta, I am co-supervised by David Olefeldt and Oliver Sonnentag. I study the greenhouse gas balance of boreal peatlands of the Taiga Plains, to determine what the main influences of warming, wildfire and permafrost thaw are in this ecozone. Thus, my research sites are situated in the […]
