Kwok P. Chun (Sun) has a first class degree from the University of Hong Kong and holds a PhD and MSc in Environmental Engineering with distinction from Imperial College London. Before joining the CERC program, Sun worked for consultants Arup and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.  

Chun’s research interests are in statistical downscaling of climate scenarios for the assessment of nonstationary hydrological characteristics, including flood and drought. As the future hydrological cycle is uncertain under anthropogenic influence, Sun’s current projects will qualify and quantify risks, extremes and irreversible change related to natural processes in Canada and other parts of the world.

Julian Klaus completed his PhD in 2011 at the Technical University of Munich, Germany. 

His research aims to understand the fundamental behaviour of watersheds, including the processes that generate streamflow and the time the water takes to travel to catchments. This knowledge helps to better understand the impact of climate change on headwaters and can improve water management. 

Nicole Michel is originally from Portland, OR, USA. She received a BS in Biology from Willamette University in Salem, OR; worked for the Institute for Bird Populations in Point Reyes Station, CA; then completed her PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Tulane University in New Orleans, LA. 

Dr. Sagin is a hydrologist with ten years of experience in natural resource project management, quantitative hydrology and hydrogeology, geochemistry and extensive experience in GIS modeling with comprehensive mathematical analysis. Dr. Sagin specializes in Remote Sensing and GIS applications. He has applied this expertise to a wide variety of projects involving GIS. 

Currently he is assessing links between water, animals and people within the Saskatchewan River Delta. He is responsible for the hydrological regime studies with applications of Remote Sensing and GIS. 

Jay completed his PhD in Geological Sciences at Western Michigan University and his master's in Natural Resources and Environment Management at Ball State University in Indiana.
