Lorna I Harris
Scientist and Program Lead - Forests, Peatlands, and Climate Change, Wildlife Conservation Society Canada

I am an ecosystem scientist working on the ecology, hydrology, and biogeochemistry of peatlands, wetlands, and forests. I am interested in how ecosystem structure and function may be impacted by the effects of global climate warming and other disturbances, including permafrost thaw, wildfire, and infrastructure development. My research focuses on the ecohydrology and biogeochemistry of peatlands across the boreal and subarctic ecozones of Canada, including the Hudson Bay Lowland, northern Alberta, and the Northwest Territories.

I am also working with other researchers from Canada's peatland science and policy community to form stronger links in science and public policy for the protection and stewardship of peatlands across Canada.
