Élise Devoie is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Queen's University, with a PhD in Civil Engineering from the University of Waterloo. Her research focuses on hydrology and hydrogeology in cold regions, particularly examining the impacts of climate change on permafrost environments. Dr. Devoie's work incorporates both modeling and fieldwork approaches to address real-world problems faced by communities in Canada's North. She aims to bridge disciplines and engage Indigenous communities in her research to ensure that research objectives align with community priorities. Her collaborative research tackles the challenges posed by permafrost thaw and its implications for water systems, soil properties, and community sustainability. Devoie promotes responsible and productive ways to study and understand hydrological changes in response to climate dynamics, and she actively seeks motivated graduate students interested in climate change research.
