معرفی
Michael Pisaric is a Professor in the Department of Geography and Tourism Studies at Brock University, where he co-founded the Water and Environmental Laboratory. He holds a PhD from Queen’s University, an MSc from McMaster University, and a BSc from Brock University. His research employs paleoecological techniques such as lake-sediment analysis and dendrochronology, focusing on climate change, Arctic ecosystems, and landscape evolution. He has conducted fieldwork in Siberia, western Canada, Montana, and currently leads projects in the Northwest Territories and British Columbia.
His educational background includes degrees in geography and environmental science, with a career focused on bridging natural science research with environmental management. Research interests include paleolimnology, dendrochronological climate reconstructions, and the impacts of permafrost thaw and climate change on northern ecosystems.
Key research trends in his articles emphasize Arctic environmental resilience, Holocene climate-fire-vegetation interactions, and the application of lake sediments and tree rings as climate proxies. His work contributes to understanding anthropogenic impacts, such as nuclear emissions and mining legacies, while advancing stratigraphic definitions for the Anthropocene epoch.
Dr. Pisaric’s projects integrate interdisciplinary approaches, including collaborations with Indigenous communities and government agencies to address northern environmental challenges. His lab focuses on innovative methods to document long-term environmental change, providing critical data for climate policy and ecosystem management.
