Dr. Marilyne Carrey (nee Jollineau) holds a Ph.D. in Geography and a Master of Environmental Studies from the University of Waterloo. She is an Associate Professor in the Environmental Sustainability Research Centre (ESRC) where she has recently served as Acting Director and Graduate Program Director for two ESRC graduate programs (i.e., the Master of Sustainability Program and the PhD in Sustainability Science). She was also Director of the Brock-Lincoln Living Lab (2017-2023). In the context of environmental sustainability, her research program is largely focused using a sustainability science approach to the application and use of geospatial technologies to study urban forests, wetlands, and grassland ecosystems and their change over time. She is committed to making her research relevant to the wider community by engaging with local communities through innovative community engagement partnerships, collaborations and other initiatives, such as the Brock-Lincoln Living Lab.
Marilyne supervises graduate students in both the Master’s of Sustainability and the Ph.D. in Sustainability Science graduate programs. Marilyne’s main research interests are listed below. Students with interests in any of these research areas are invited to reach out to her via email to discuss opportunities to study or collaborate with her at Brock University.
- Urban forestry (Marilyne recently co-presented a webinar with Dr. Adrina Galle, author of Nature in Cities, discussing the use of technology in urban forestry as part of the Greening the Landscape Research Consortium, hosted by the Vineland Research and Innovation Centre. Watch the seminar to learn more!)
- Inventorying, mapping, and assessing the urban tree canopy
- Wetland ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation
- Invasive species management and monitoring in Ontario (e.g., phragmites or the spotted lanternfly)
- Mapping and monitoring vineyards using remote-sensing technologies
- Nature-based solutions in sustainability
