Natalia Aristizábal

Postdoctoral Fellow

Natalia has used participatory approaches to work with farmers and coffee cooperatives in Costa Rica to positively impact farming strategies and landscape policies. Now she is developing a platform for the Ecosystem Services Observatory System for Canada (ESOS-C) that brings together data and stories to help resource managers reframe the decisions they must make.

Yehui Zhong

Yehui Zhong

Postdoctoral Fellow

I study how ecosystem functions and services respond to climate change and anthropogenic disturbances, using a combination of field, lab, and big data approaches. I am currently focused on developing and enhancing ecosystem service layers across Canada to support evidence-based policies on ecosystem management.

Jeff Liebert

Jeff Liebert

Postdoctoral Fellow

I am an agroecologist who uses mixed methods to support more diverse, multifunctional farms and landscapes. I am most hopeful about the future when I collaborate with others to overcome challenges and co-create pathways toward a more just and sustainable agri-food system.

Jackie Hamilton

Jackie Hamilton

PhD Candidate

I study the complex but often overlooked connections between humans and trees using a mix of methods. I hope to shine light on the less obvious ways we're intertwined with nature to foster a greater understanding of how these relationships matter.

Elson Ian Nyl Ebreo Galang

Elson Ian Nyl Ebreo Galang

PhD Candidate

Am passionate in facilitating collaborative spaces where diverse worldviews can flourish in co-producing knowledge for sustainable environmental futures. I currently study how these spaces influence how everyone think, feel, and aspire for the future.

Catherine Destrempes

Catherine Destrempes

MSc Student

I am fascinated by the connection between humans and nature and focus my work in the lab on ways to enhance ecosystem services through restoration actions. Ultimately, I wish to contribute to our understanding of how we can safeguard and restore nature, while also ensuring a sustainable future for nature and people alike.

Peter Morrison

Peter Morrison

MSc Student

I study the benefits people obtain from ecosystems, how they are defined, and the underlying pathways creating those benefits. My long-term goal is to help develop tools and analysis that will support better management of biodiversity.

David Ferguson

David Ferguson

MSc Student

I am interested in better understanding how the use of data and tools allow us to address and comprehend the complexity of ecosystem structures, functions, and services.

Olivia St-Laurent

Olivia St-Laurent

MSc Student

I study transformations towards more socially and ecologically sustainable pathways. Through my work, I hope to better understand how change leaders interact across sectors to create positive and meaningful change.

Ela Vermette-Furst

Ela Vermette-Furst

Undergraduate / ResNet Administrative Assistant

I am a budding social-ecological scientist exploring the relationship between environmental policy, ecological resilience and Indigenous food sovereignty using “two-eyed seeing” approaches. My work is co-produced with Indigenous leaders and emphasizes the vital role of Indigenous voices and knowledge in sustainable environmental governance.

Nicole Middlemiss

Nicole Middlemiss

ResNet Network Manager

I am a research administrator with over fifteen years’ experience supporting programs at McGill and at the Centre de recherche du Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal. I manage ResNet’s budget and expenses, plan meetings and events, and provide support to ResNet’s diverse projects and initiatives.

Agnes Vari

Agnes Vari

Postdoctoral Consultant

I work on ecosystem services, mapping and assessing them, being interested in both the process (selection of methods, tools & indicators), and related conceptual questions. I strive to obtain results that can provide answers relevant for local as well as for higher level decision making, to optimize how we use land for supporting both biodiversity and people.
