The Earth history team at UVic consists of a group of researchers with overlapping interests in studying the history of the geological carbon cycling on Earth. This webpage outlines the current research program of Anne-Sofie Ahm.

Anne-Sofie Ahm is an Assistant Professor in the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences (SEOS) at the University of Victoria. Dr. Ahm's research group specializes in carbonate geochemistry, geobiology, and numerical modeling. Research questions focus on understanding and improving the record of seawater chemistry and carbon cycling throughout Earth history, from 3 billion years ago until today (Read more about ongoing research projects...).

The research group is part of a vibrant Earth history node at SEOS, which also includes students and postdocs that work with Jon Husson and Blake Dyer. Currently, we are looking for motivated students to join the Earth history team! Please reach out to Dr. Ahm to discuss opportunities for Undergraduate, Masters, and PhD projects at UVic (read more here).
