Dr. Lauren Somers is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Resource Engineering at Dalhousie University. Her research focuses on understanding sensitive hydrologic systems impacted by climate change. Dr. Somers utilizes field measurements and numerical modeling to study the interactions between groundwater, surface water, soil carbon, and glaciers in various regions, including Canada, the Peruvian Andes, and Southeast Asia. She aims to assess hydrologically-mediated carbon emissions and project water shortages to inform the design of engineering interventions that serve as climate change adaptation strategies. These strategies include techniques like infiltration trenching and coastline stabilization to mitigate carbon emissions, for example, through peatland reclamation.
