Dr. Sean Crowe

Biography

Sean Crowe is a Professor at the University of British Columbia where he holds the Canada Research Chair II in Geomicrobiology. His research focuses on improving the capacity to predict and respond to global changes by creating new knowledge about the Earth system, particularly through the study of microorganisms and their role in biogeochemical cycles throughout Earth's history. His work involves qualitative and quantitative models that describe biogeochemical cycles and the interactions of different species with the Earth system. Crowe's current research group is particularly focused on biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen, iron, sulfur, phosphorus, and carbon in both modern and past environments, using innovative gene-centric modeling approaches. He has a strong academic background with a B.Sc. from the University of British Columbia, an M.Sc. from the University of Windsor, and a Ph.D. from McGill University. Additionally, he completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Nordic Center for Earth Evolution (NordCEE) at the University of Southern Denmark.
