Anne-Sofie Ahm is an Assistant Professor in the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences (SEOS) at the University of Victoria. She leads an interdisciplinary research group that combines geochemistry, field geology, and numerical modelling to reconstruct how Earth’s climate, oceans, and life have co-evolved. (Read more about ongoing research projects...).

Ahm's research group is part of a vibrant Earth history node at SEOS, which also includes students and postdoctoral researchers 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, master's, and PhD projects at UVic (read more here).
