Oliver Sonnentag

Associate Professor, Canada Research Chair Tier 2

My initial training is in applied geosciences with a major focus on hydrogeology obtained through a diploma (Dipl. geol.) from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany. After graduation from KIT in 2001, I started working as a geographic information systems (GIS) technician and consultant for a surveying and consulting company to gain professional experience. […]

Research Associate

The primary focus of my work is to design, install and maintain eddy covariance and micrometeorological instrumentation, prepare and analyse data, as well as to support or supervise students and activities at six sites on a latitudinal gradient across the NWT and northern BC. I specialize in calculating water vapour, carbon dioxide and methane ﬂuxes […]

Currently, […]

Visiting PhD

I (he/him) am a Phd student in the lab of professor Song Gu, College of Life Sciences, Nankai University working on autumn phenology of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) and conducting a series of experiments over the alpine meadow ecosystem in Three-River Source Region (TRSR) located in the center of the QTP, which is known as […]

Communications officer

I (they/them) hold a B.Sc. in Environmental Geography from the Université de Montréal. During my academic career, I became interested in environmental issues at the intersection of earth and social sciences, which led me to carry out a research project on the interaction between climate change and migration. I’ve also been involved in various science […]

Research Coordinator

I (he/him) hold a master’s degree in environmental chemistry from Université de Montréal which I completed in 2020. Under the supervision of Dr. Patrick Hayes, my research project focused on the characterization of optical and microphysical properties of atmospheric aerosols in the Canadian High Arctic. This unique experience allowed me to acquire valuable skills and […]

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, […]

Visiting Postdoctoral Research Scientist

I completed my PhD in environmental sciences in 2018 at the University of Eastern Finland, after which I spent two years working as a Postdoc at the Université de Montréal. Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Environmental and Biological Sciences of the University of Eastern Finland, and a visiting researcher here […]

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 […]

PhD Candidate

I am a PhD candidate working with Dr. Oliver Sonnentag. I entered the PhD program in 2017 after I completed my MSc degree in hydrology at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Under the supervision of Dr. Oliver Sonnentag, my PhD research focuses on modelling the CO2 balance of North America’s boreal forests. Specifically, […]

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 […]

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 […]

PhD Candidate

I (she/her) am a research professional working on a variety of projects related to examining the impacts of permafrost thaw and climate change on carbon and nitrogen cycling in boreal-Arctic ecosystems. Prior to joining the Atmosbios Lab I completed my B.Sc. in Environmental Science and Sustainability at the University of New Hampshire and my M.Sc. […]

PhD Candidate

Alex Mavrovic (he/him) holds a Bachelor’s degree in physics and a Master’s degree in remote sensing of northern environments from Université de Sherbrooke (director: Alain Royer), during which he studied the different northern components of the radiometric signal received by satellites: vegetation, soil and snow (Mavrovic et al. 2018, 2020a et 2020b). Those researches brought […]

M.Sc. Student

I am a master’s student in geography at the University of Montreal under the supervision of Dr. Oliver Sonnentag (University of Montreal) and Dr. Joe Melton (Environment and Climate Change Canada). I am also part of PermafrostNet. Before starting my master’s, I completed a bachelor’s degree in physics at the University of Montreal. I now […]

M.Sc. Student

I (He / Him) obtained a B.Sc. in Environmental Geography at the Université de Montréal. My Honours research focused on the analysis of long-term variability in cloudiness in Quebec in the context of climate change as part of a project by the Ministère de l’Environnement et de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques. Under the […]

M.Sc. Student

I (she/her) did my undegraduate study in Planning (management) and Environmental protection at Quisqueya University (UniQ) in Haïti in the faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences ( FSAE). My academic research work for my bachelor’s degree won the Frederic Kébreau prize for the best research in agricultural science awarded by the FHARE Haiti foundation. I […]

M.Sc. Student

I (she/her) completed my B.Sc. in Physics at Université de Montréal, where I discovered a strong interest in Earth sciences, particularly through my hydrodynamic course. I was also able to explore this interest during an internship in spatial data analysis, where I worked with Earth observation data from various satellites. I am now working with […]

Research Professional

I (she/they) am a graduate from McGill University with an M.Sc. in Natural Resources Sciences where I used Eddy Covariance to study methane emission from the Mer Bleu Marsh. Prior, I had completed a B.Sc. in Atmospheric Sciences, also from McGill. In the Atmosbios Lab, I am helping to work on a variety of projects […]
