(Assistant professor)

Research Summary

My primary research goals are directed towards evaluating human and climate impact on ecological and biogeochemical processes using radionuclides as tracers. I have expertise in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems at various temporal and spatial scales. I am interested on climate change in boreal and arctic ecosystems where I model elemental (carbon, metals, nutrients) fluxes within soils, peatlands and lakes and their response to environmental stressors such as increasing temperatures or pollutants deposition.

Groundwater discharge: a hidden driver of greenhouse gases (CO2 and CH4) emissions from lakes

This project will provide the first quantification of both spatial and temporal variations in permafrost groundwater discharge (PGD) and its importance for both the C cycle and the quality of surface waters.
