Thomas is a PhD student in geography at the Université de Montréal. His doctoral research focuses on the impacts of climate change on the hydrological cycle in northern Canada, where permafrost plays a central role in controlling soil moisture, water pathways, and surface hydrology. Before starting at UdeM, Thomas completed a master’s degree in Earth and Climate Sciences at Université Paris-Saclay in France, with a focus on past, present, and future climate dynamics. Through his studies, he gained practical laboratory and research experience, notably working at the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l’Environnement (LSCE) on the Beyond EPICA Antarctic ice core project. By joining the LEAP program, Thomas aims to enrich his understanding of permafrost-related research fields, learn more about cold regions that are particularly vulnerable to climate change, and directly apply this knowledge to his doctoral project on northern hydrology.
