Dr. Warland’s research is based on agricultural plant canopies, but also expands to include studies on the transport of trace gases in forest canopies. This work aims to further the understanding of atmosphere-ecosystem interactions, the relationship between vegetation on weather and climate, and plant canopy modelling. This area is essential not only for fully developed models of climate change and more accurate long-range forecasting but also for developing reliable adaptation strategies for possible climate change scenarios.
Warland guides several graduate students through a combination of theoretical, laboratory, and fieldwork to accomplish these goals. Collaborative research projects with Environment Canada and researchers from other universities such as Yale and Cornell bring further breadth to his work.
