Dr. Mike Waddington
Professor, Canada Research Chair in Ecohydrology 1Mike has over 30 years of boreal wetland research experience and over 20 years of expertise working with energy companies on boreal wetland restoration. For the last 15 years he has examined the ecohydrological controls on peat fire burn severity and he is the lead PI of the Boreal Water Futures project. He is a self-proclaimed map geek and an active adventure runner and adventure racer.

Research Associates and Postdoctoral Fellows
|
Dr. Chantel Markle
Postdoctoral Fellow Chantel is a conservation biologist who uses spatial and landscape ecology principles and techniques to better understand how reptiles use a landscape and enhance protection of species at risk. She is examining how changes in climate and land-use impact the availability and resilience of vital habitats.

Dr. Colin McCarter
Postdoctoral Fellow Colin’s research interests lie in the reactive transport of metals, pollutants, nutrients, and carbon under changing environmental and climatic conditions. He is currently exploring how the climate change enhanced burning of peatlands increases toxic metal mobility and how to mitigate these risks through active restoration activities.

Dr. Paul Moore
Research Associate Paul's research integrates field and lab-based measurements of peatland processes and properties in order to parameterize physically-based models. His modelling is being used to define thresholds of disturbance which significantly impact ecosystem function under future climate scenarios.

Dr. Sophie Wilkinson
Postdoctoral Fellow Sophie is investigating ecohydrological thresholds to deep burning peat and the role of feedbacks in peatland resilience to wildfire and climate change. She is evaluating and developing forest fuel modification treatments to reduce peat burn severity and aid fire suppression in wildland-urban and wildland-industry interfaces.
