Dr. Chantel Markle
Postdoctoral Fellow
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. Paul Moore
Postdoctoral Fellow
Postdoctoral Fellow
|
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.

Sophie Wilkinson
PhD Student
PhD Student
|
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.
