Biography

Kristina Brown is an Assistant Professor at the University of Manitoba's Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of Environment, Earth, and Resources. Her research focuses on Arctic marine biogeochemistry, particularly the role of freshwater in the polar ocean carbon cycle. She utilizes various geochemical tracers to determine freshwater sources and pathways within marine systems, with a specific emphasis on coasts where river inputs intersect with areas of sea ice melt. Her recent work has concentrated on the Kitikmeot region of the southern Canadian Arctic Archipelago, where she collaborates with local partners in Nunavut to conduct year-round monitoring of river and coastal systems. With a PhD in Oceanography from the University of British Columbia and a BSc in Biology and Earth Ocean Sciences from the University of Victoria, Kristina aims to bridge the fields of earth and ocean sciences to address critical questions regarding carbon sources and transformations within the land-ice-ocean continuum.
