SES Seeking PhD and MES applicants for climate change modelling research!

Combining global earth observations and numerical simulations, the successful applicants will explore the sensitivity of terrestrial carbon fluxes to climate extremes. Both projects provide opportunities for developing a wide range of technical skills, such as working on a high-performance computer, processing large data sets, conducting numerical simulations, and carrying out statistical analysis.

Research Interests

My research explores the role of the land surface in the global climate system under current and future climate conditions. By combining numerical modelling and global earth observations, my work addresses questions that advance our ability to predict how the terrestrial carbon cycle will respond to increasing anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Recent topics include model benchmarking, global sensitivity analysis, mechanisms of forest dieback, and the impact of climate model biases on simulated carbon dynamics. Much of this research support the evaluation and development of the Canadian Earth System Model's land surface scheme.
