Jennifer Galloway

Jennifer Galloway is a Researcher at the Geological Survey of Canada and a Professor at Brandon University's Department of Geology. She specializes in palynology and paleoecology, focusing on climate change impacts across various time scales, particularly in Arctic Canada and northern ecosystems. Her work spans Jurassic-Cretaceous stratigraphy, Holocene lake sediments, and contaminant geochemistry in mining-impacted environments.

• Education: PhD in Earth Sciences from Carleton University (2002-2006), BSc in Biology from Queen's University (1997-2002)

Her research integrates palynological biostratigraphy, geochemical analysis, and environmental monitoring to address questions about terrestrial vegetation changes, volcanic impacts, and metal contamination dynamics. Recent publications highlight studies on peat accumulation rates, Arctic wildfire history, and arsenic mobility under climate change. She has served as Editor-in-Chief for the Bulletin of Canadian Energy Geoscience (2020-2024) and editorial advisory boards for journals like the Journal of Cretaceous Research.

Key scientific awards include the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada Visiting Fellow in Canadian Government Laboratory (2009). She has collaborated with international institutions such as Aarhus University (Denmark) and Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland. Her fieldwork includes significant projects in Ellesmere Island, Vancouver Island, and Northwest Territories, utilizing techniques like Itrax XRF core-scanning and uranium-lead zircon dating. She has also contributed to environmental monitoring frameworks for mining impacts and climate change resilience studies in subarctic lakes.
