Dr. Alice Chang

Dr. Chang received a BSc (Honours, First Class) and MSc from the former Department of Geological Sciences (now EOAS) at the University of British Columbia, and completed a PhD (2004) in Earth Sciences at Carleton University where she studied Holocene sediments and diatoms from Vancouver Island. She continued with a postdoctoral fellowship (2004–2009) in the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of Victoria. Here she researched the geochemistry (trace elements, light stable isotopes, biogenic proxies) of Quaternary marine sediments from the western North American margin. She then returned to UBC to manage the Stable Isotope Facility and the Belowground Ecosystem Group laboratories in the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences, Faculty of Forestry (2009–2017). Dr. Chang has now returned to her roots in the Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences at UBC, in the capacity of Project Manager for the Pacific Centre for Isotopic and Geochemical Research (PCIGR). She is also the Project Coordinator for the Materializing Indigenous Histories project.
