Hi! I’m Zoe. I am a Master student at the University of British Columbia, Geography Department, Micrometeorology Lab. I received an Honours degree in Environmental Science from the University of British Columbia in 2022. Currently, as a second-year MSc student, I am examining the impacts of seedling removal — a post-fire management practice — on the GHG fluxes (CO₂ and CH₄) within the 2016 burned zone of the Burns Bog, Delta, BC. This research utilizes a smart chamber with a portable analyzer. Additionally, I am interested in quantifying and modelling the net carbon exchange at the ecosystem scale using eddy covariance techniques and understanding carbon dynamics across varying ecosystem types.

What do I think of myself?

• I am hardworking and dedicated to completing each task carefully and to the highest standard
• I am open to hearing different perspectives and suggestions
• I value foresight and enjoy making advance preparations
• I am passionate about learning, and possess strong critical thinking and writing skills, coupled with effective teamwork abilities
