Emma Harrison

Emma is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Oceanography at Dalhousie University. She held a previous postdoctoral appointment in Geological Sciences at Stanford University. Emma is interested in decolonizing methodologies and research justice as science praxis.

Her current work supports community-engaged monitoring of changes in the coastal marine environment of Nunatsiavut, in northern Labrador. Her previous research in the field of geomorphology focused on developing new geochemical applications to trace sediment transformation and transport in soils, hillslopes, rivers, and coasts.

Emma co-founded the Center for Interdisciplinary Environmental Justice (@Decolonize4Climate), an organization that works for decolonial environmental justice and non-extractive climate change solutions.
