Jaclyn Cockburn is a professor in the College of Social and Applied Human Sciences at the University of Guelph, specializing in geomorphology and surface processes. Her research focuses on contemporary and past landscape processes, particularly environmental variability and the dynamics of fluvial systems. She employs paleoenvironmental proxies and sedimentary records, including clastic varves and tree-ring growth, to reconstruct historical landscape processes and understand responses to future global changes. Her notable work includes assessments of watershed management, evaluating sedimentary processes in lakes and streams, and studying the impacts of climate change on freshwater ecosystems. Cockburn has published multiple peer-reviewed articles on topics ranging from habitat suitability in ecological contexts to temporal variability in hydrological conditions across North America. Additionally, she is actively involved in mentoring students, offering opportunities for graduate research in geoscience, particularly related to geomorphology and ecohydrology.
