Join Dr. Oliver Sonn entag at VU Amsterdam on 20 November for a lunch seminar exploring Ar ctic ecosystems, permafrost thaw, and carbon and water cycling in wes tern Canada. Register now!
The ASI Research Cluste r Arctic Change invites you to a lunch seminar with Dr. Oliver Sonnentag, Professor of Atmospheric Biogeoscience s at the Université de Montréal, Canada.
Join us for an engag ing discussion on Arctic–boreal ecosystem change, permafrost thaw, and the dynamics of carbon and water cycling in western Canada.
In this presentation, Dr. Sonnentag will reflect on a decade of flux-centric ecosystem research across wester n Canada's Arctic–boreal region, with a particular focus on Trail V alley Creek, a tundra watershed at the forest–tundra ecotone.
He will examine how climate change, permafrost thaw, and disturbance s are reshaping carbon, water, and methane cycling by integrating edd y covariance, chamber measurements, remote sensing, modelling, and In digenous partnerships.
Dr. Oliver Son nentag is Professor and former Canada Research Chair in Atmospheric B iogeosciences in High Latitudes (2014–2024) at the Université de M ontréal.
His research aims to understand changes in surface– atmosphere interactions in response to increasing natural and anthrop ogenic pressures, with a particular focus on the Northwest Territorie s of Canada.
He uses micrometeorological measurements, includin g eddy covariance, alongside remote sensing and modelling techniques to investigate changes in Arctic–boreal ecosystem functioning and s ervices.
Dr. Sonnentag is involved in several international res earch initiatives and programs, including AmeriFlux/FLUXNET, Permafro st Pathways, AWARE, Can-Peat, and NSERC CREATE LEAP.
The ASI Research Cluster A rctic Change brings together researchers from across Vrije Universite it Amsterdam and beyond to explore the complex challenges facing the Arctic. The cluster connects expertise across disciplines, from perma frost thaw and ecosystem dynamics to environmental protection, Indige nous peoples' rights, geopolitics, and Arctic governance.
