Timothy Morin

Dr. Timothy Morin is an esteemed Assistant Professor at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF). With a robust academic background, he earned his Ph.D. in Environmental Science from the Ohio State University, following an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. This unique combination of disciplines has equipped him with a comprehensive understanding of both the technical and ecological aspects of environmental science. Dr. Morin's research is primarily centered on the carbon cycle within wetland ecosystems, with a particular emphasis on methane emissions. He employs advanced field techniques and ecosystem modeling to unravel the complexities of these processes. His work is pivotal in understanding the role of wetlands in global carbon dynamics, especially in the context of climate change. Among his diverse research interests, Dr. Morin is deeply engaged in studying methane emissions across various ecosystems. He is also involved in the engineering of optimal wetland environments to enhance their ecological functions. His fascination with arctic buried ice formations adds another layer to his research, as these formations play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle. Dr. Morin is a proponent of using innovative methodologies such as eddy covariance to study complex environments. This approach allows for precise measurement of gas exchanges between the earth's surface and the atmosphere, providing valuable insights into greenhouse gas dynamics and carbon fluxes. In his role as an advisor, Dr. Morin mentors graduate students in Environmental Science and Environmental Resources Engineering. His students delve into a range of topics, including greenhouse gas dynamics, carbon fluxes, and wetland hydrology. Through his guidance, they contribute to advancing the understanding of environmental processes and developing sustainable solutions for ecological challenges.
