Karen Kohfeld is a professor at Simon Fraser University, specializing in the study of the biogeochemical linkages between the ocean and climate systems. Her research evaluates the responses of the Earth system to anthropogenic perturbations, focusing particularly on the ocean carbon cycle and how it is influenced by land surface conditions and atmospheric dust. Over the years, she has led various research projects examining the effects of climate change and extreme weather in British Columbia, including the dynamics of sea ice in the Southern Ocean and the carbon storage capabilities of coastal wetlands. Kohfeld's collaborative work with marine biologists, geologists, and modelers has contributed to the development of extensive environmental databases that enhance the understanding of past climate behavior and wind speed variability, among other factors. Her research outputs include significant publications in high-impact journals, and she has notably mentored graduate students through these projects.
