The ecology of arctic ecosystems and their sensitivity to climate change

在过去的四年里，我一直在研究加拿大低北极的基本生态以及潜在的气候变化影响。 我已经建立了一个主要的苔原试验场，我预计它将对加拿大具有长期的战略重要性。 我获得了多项国家和国际资助奖，在领先的科学期刊上发表了14篇论文，包括全球变化生物学（两次），生态学，土壤生物学和生物化学，生态系统和自然，并为21人提供了大量的科学培训。 我应邀向美国地球物理联盟发表演讲，并在加拿大，美国和英国的会议上提出科学和政策观点。 我最初的发现资助支持了这些活动，并且是开发第二个研究项目的唯一来源，该项目与安大略废弃农业用地上土壤碳封存的潜力有关，该项目刚刚取得成果（手稿刚刚提交，另一个正在准备中），未来将由其他来源资助。

Over the past four years, I have been developing research on the fundamental ecology of the Canadian low Arctic as well as potential climate change impacts. I have established a major tundra experimental site that I anticipate will have long-lasting strategic importance for Canada. I have won several national and international funding awards, published 14 papers in leading science journals including Global Change Biology (twice), Ecology, Soil Biology and Biochemistry, Ecosystems and Nature, and provided substantial scientific training for 21 people. I gave an invited talk to the American Geophysical Union and presented science and policy perspectives at meetings in Canada, the US and the UK. My initial Discovery grant supported these activities and was the sole source to develop a second research program related to the potential for soil carbon sequestration on abandoned agricultural land in Ontario that is just coming to fruition (manuscript just submitted, another in prep), and that will be funded from other sources in the future.
