Aseem R. Sharma

Aseem R. Sharma is a Postdoctoral Research Scientist affiliated with Canada Wildfire, a collaboration between Natural Resources Canada and the University of Alberta. His research focuses on the interplay between climate variability, atmospheric dynamics, and surface hydro-climatology, with a particular emphasis on wildfires and extreme climate events.

• Investigates atmospheric blocking's role in western North American wildfires and lightning occurrences across Canada
• Studied Atmospheric Rivers, climate change impacts on mountainous regions (Himalayas and Canadian Rockies), and climate change risk assessments

Sharma has presented his work on extreme events, including the 2021 BC heatwave and November 2021 flooding, in the Canada Wildfire talk series. His work intersects with wildfire dynamics, climate change mitigation, and extreme weather analysis.
