Hi! I’m a PhD Candidate in Climate Science and Quaternary Geology. I study Holocene volcanism in Canadian ice cores.
Sanaa Mughal
Vice President
I am a 4th year PhD Candidate working with Kurt Konhauser on the origin, early evolution and preservation of eukaryotes during the Proterozoic through the lens of the organic-walled microfossil record of shales.
Shaun Woudstra
Treasurer
Hi, I'm a PhD student researching volcanism in mostly British Columbia and Alaska!
Jared Janzen
Secretary
I am an MSc student under the supervision of Dr. Sasha Wilson, investigating the distribution of critical metals within the Atlin ophiolite complex (British Columbia, Canada). My research aims to enhance mineral exploration strategies while contributing to the geochemical and mineralogical understanding of these ultramafic rock sequences and their alteration products.
Fiona Davidson
Social Convenor
I'm a third year PhD student working on ocean modelling with Dr. Paul Myers. I’m interested in how climate change is altering the physical and chemical properties of the Arctic Ocean.
Tahya Weiss-Gibbons
Social Convenor
Hi! I am a PhD candidate with Dr. Paul Myers. My work focuses on the development of high resolution ocean models, to understand climate change in the rapidly changing Arctic
Emma Guinan
Talk Coordinator and Symposium Coordinator
I am a first year master's student working with Chris Herd and Abby Azari to help automate target selection on Mars rovers and increase science return.
Judah Melnyk
Lecture Series Coordinator and Geology Representative
Hi! I am a first year MSc student working with Murray Gingras. We are working on developing a better understanding of the understudied Grand Rapids formation in eastern-central Alberta utilizing sedimentology, stratigraphy, ichnology, and field geology.
Caio da Silva
Webmaster and calendar coordinator and Atmosphere and Ocean Representative
Hi! I am a Master's student working with Dr. Paul Myers. My research focuses on identifying dominant flow patterns in the Hudson and James Bay region. By combining numerical ocean modeling, Lagrangian particle tracking, and Machine Learning clustering algorithms, I aim to understand how freshwater circulates and leaves the coastal domain.
Veronica Rosa
Symposium Organizer
Hi! I am a first year PhD student whose research focuses on alkaline lakes, microbialites and clay minerals. I am interested in employing geochemical methods on climate change solutions.
Lauren Kew
Field Trip Coordinator
Hi! I'm Lauren, a second year masters student working with Dr. Alberto Reyes. I use cosmogenic dating techniques to better constrain Cordilleran Ice Sheet retreat in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Outside of work, I love to hike, travel, and play music with friends.
Megan Stewart
Field Trip Coordinator
I am a second-year MSc student working with Dr. Alison Criscitiello to improve our understanding of sea ice dynamics in the Canadian Arctic using halogen proxies in ice cores.
Nathalie Boal
EAS Ambassador
My name is Nathalie Boal and I am in my first year of my masters program. I am a hydrogeologist in the Watershed Science and Modelling Laboratory where I am working on a groundwater-surface water model of the Nelson River Basin. Outside of the lab I like to rock climb and bike.
Mikenna Smith
Undergraduate Liaison
Hello! I am a first year Master's student working with Phil Currie and JP Zonneveld. My research focuses on assessing environmental changes across the Early Eocene Climate Optimum based on the taxonomic composition of herptiles on different horizons.
Ciara Stewart
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Coordinator
I am finishing up my MSc with Dr. John-Paul Zonneveld using sedimentology and geochemistry to interpret palaeoclimate in Carnian age strata in northeastern BC.
Rebecca Fenner
Volunteer and Outreach Coordinator
I am a first year Master's student working with Dr. Paul Myers. I'm from Nova Scotia and grew up sailing so naturally I am very interested in understanding ocean dynamics and the governing equations. In my free time, I love playing softball and video games!
Kizito Doghle
Human Geography Representative
I am a master's student working with Dr. Paul Boniface Akaabre in the Cities and Spatial Justice Lab. My research focuses on housing investment decisions among older adults in Canada.
Bailey Grondin
Glacier/Quaternary Geology Representative
Hi everyone! I'm Bailey and I'm an MSc student in PACS Lab. My research focuses on understanding the relationship between surficial geology, ground ice, and thermokarst features near Tuktoyaktuk. I'm looking forward to a great year!
Pureunsol Oh
IEG representative
Hi, I go by Sol and I am a Master student in IEG, formerly IPG. I used to be involved in green energy sector, but now turned my path to energy geosciences. Feel free to reach out about IEG, transition, and grad life!
Fnu Fathima
URP representative
I’m a Master of Urban and Regional Planning (MURP) student at the University of Alberta and serve as the URP Representative on the ATLAS Executive Committee. I’m passionate about student engagement, collaboration, and building a strong planning community.
Katie Bauer
Remote Sensing Representative
I am an MSc student under the supervision of Dr. Arturo Sanchez-Azofeifa. My research focuses on using SLAM LiDAR and advanced machine learning methods for studying shrub distribution and aboveground biomass in Alberta forests.
