John Gamon is a researcher in the Faculty of Science at the University of Alberta, specializing in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. His research focuses on the interactions between the biosphere and the atmosphere, particularly the exchanges of carbon and water vapor that affect ecosystem productivity and help regulate climate. He has a keen interest in understanding how disturbances—such as fires, succession, and climate change—impact basic ecological processes. Additionally, his work involves utilizing optical monitoring and remote sensing techniques to study plant physiology, ecosystem function, species composition, and biodiversity. John co-founded SpecNet, a network of sites employing optical sampling methods to investigate ecological questions. He conducts fieldwork across a range of ecosystems, from the Arctic to the Tropics, and encourages student inquiries into topics related to ecology, remote sensing, and eco-informatics.
