Associate Professor
Natural Resource Sciences
McGill University
Canada
Ian Strachan received PhD (2000) and MSc degrees at Queen’s University (Kingston, ON) following an undergraduate degree from the University of Toronto. He completed post-doctoral research with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Ottawa. He joined McGill in 2001 and became the Faculty’s first Associate Dean (Graduate Education) in 2012. He is past-President of the Canadian Society of Agricultural and Forest Meteorologists and served as a two-term member of the American Meteorological Society’s Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee on Agricultural and Forest Meteorology.
Professor Strachan studies the mechanisms controlling the release and uptake of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane) in a variety of ecosystems. He is especially interested in ecosystems which have been disturbed or are managed by human activity. He measures these gas exchanges at large spatial scales and continuously through time using fast-response environmental sensors.
