Biography

Suzanne Tank is a researcher at the University of Alberta, focusing on Land-Ocean Biogeochemistry. Her work centers on understanding the current and future functioning of the linked continuum between soil porewaters and the coastal oceans of the planet. This research examines how biogeochemical changes affect ecological functions across land, freshwater, and marine domains. Tank's work is particularly relevant in the context of climate change, permafrost dynamics, carbon cycling, and nutrient transformations. Her approach emphasizes fieldwork complemented by strong analytical methods, where students gain expertise in a range of laboratory, statistical, and experimental techniques. The lab is inherently multi-disciplinary, fostering collaborations with scientists both in Canada and internationally to enhance the significance and impact of their findings.
