The School of Earth, Environment and Society (SEES) at McMaster is particularly interested in applications from experts in Al, environmental science, climate resilience, and/or Arctic studies. If this aligns with your expertise, we would love to hear from you!

These chairs offer $1 million per year for full professors or $500,000 per year for associate professors, over eight years.

McMaster is seeking many scholars with ambitious research programs that tackle emerging global and national challenges in many disciplines.

We discuss how the vulnerability of shallow peatlands arises from the interactions between regulatory (negative) and destabilizing (positive) ecohydrological feedbacks.

We show that differences in peat properties and vegetation cover between shallow and deep peatlands influence the strength of fast hydrological feedbacks while the slow feedbacks related to vegetation community change and peat decomposition directly impact peatland physical characteristics

I enjoy the peat colours pics you post. You have created a great network and the #PeatPic science is also up for our #NobelPeatPrize for top paper of 2025. In an era of fancy (and expensive) lab and field equipment it is wonderful to see how a smart phone can advance peat science. Congrats Scott.
