Chris Burn serves as a Chancellor's Professor at Carleton University in Ottawa. His research investigates permafrost terrain behavior under natural and anthropogenic disturbances, emphasizing climate change impacts on Arctic infrastructure and mitigation strategies. Fieldwork is centered in the Northwest Territories at Garry Island and Illisarvik, where long-term ground temperature monitoring (since 1997) tracks permafrost changes, complemented by historical data comparisons dating to 1969. Research Interests: Burn's interdisciplinary focus spans: Permafrost-climate interactions and infrastructure resilience Snow cover manipulation as a climate adaptation tool Ice-wedge polygon dynamics and ground subsidence Vegetation-permafrost feedbacks in drained lake basins Arctic environmental change across multiple temporal scales His publications demonstrate consistent emphasis on field-based permafrost studies, climate adaptation strategies, and Arctic landscape evolution, with recent works increasingly addressing vegetation-climate-permafrost interrelationships.

Blaženka Gašparović is a Professor and Laboratory Head at the Ruđer Bošković Institute, leading the Laboratory for Marine and Atmospheric Biogeochemistry within the Institute for Marine and Environmental Research. She holds a permanent position as Scientific Advisor and actively contributes to doctoral education at the University of Zagreb and University of Split through specialized courses in marine biogeochemistry and environmental chemistry. Her research centers on Marine Biogeochemistry with emphasis on lipid dynamics in oceanic systems. Key focus areas include: Molecular mechanisms of phytoplankton adaptation to nutrient limitation and climate stressors Carbon cycling through lipid transformations from surface to deep ocean Sea surface microlayer composition and air-sea exchange processes Organic matter production in oligotrophic Mediterranean ecosystems Analysis of her recent publications reveals innovative integration of lipidomics with ecosystem modeling, particularly examining phospholipid responses to phosphorus limitation and thermal stress. Her work demonstrates how lipid composition serves as both biomarker for environmental change and driver of carbon export efficiency, with significant implications for predicting ocean biogeochemical responses to global warming. Her scientific excellence has been recognized through prestigious institutional awards: 2023 Annual Award for Best Scientific Paper at Ruđer Bošković Institute 2013 Award for Promotion of Competitive Projects Dr. Gašparović mentors doctoral students through university courses while securing competitive funding through international collaborations. Her project portfolio includes the Croatian Science Foundation's AMBIOMERES project (2014-2019), NATO Science for Peace initiatives, and bilateral programs with China and Germany focused on organic matter biogeochemistry across diverse marine systems. She leads a dynamic research group within the Laboratory for Marine and Atmospheric Biogeochemistry, coordinating field campaigns in the Adriatic Sea and participating in global initiatives like MarParCloud and MILAN. Her team's interdisciplinary approach combines electrochemical methods, lipid analysis, and molecular techniques to investigate ocean responses to environmental change, maintaining strong international partnerships across Europe and Asia.
