Anne Pasek is the Canada Research Chair in Media, Culture and the Environment and an Assistant Professor cross-appointed between the Department of Cultural Studies and the School of the Environment. She studies the cultural politics of climate change, focusing in particular on how carbon becomes mediated and meaningful in different institutional and social contexts.
Ian is an environmental geochemist who studies carbon sequestration and tailings management, natural analogues for carbon mineralization, and geobiological approaches to carbon management. Ian takes an interdisciplinary approach to science that crosses conventional research boundaries to discover, understand, and harness geochemical processes to address environmental challenges. He teaches courses in the Environmental Geoscience program including Field Methods and Introductory Mineralogy.
Raul teaches courses in GIS at the introductory and upper undergraduate levels, soil management and integrated watershed management in the Departments of Geography and Environmental and Resources Science/Studies.
Ecosystems are threatened by a multitude of environmental stresses ranging from disturbance at local scales to global climate change. I am interested in how ecosystems respond to environmental stress, which also requires a greater understanding of how stresses impact on ecosystems. My research focuses on the impacts of acid rain, climate change, nutrient depletion, forestry and metals on forest and lake ecosystems. The research studies range from long-term catchment scale programs to short term laboratory isotope tracer experiments.
