Dr. Paula Schönach holds a post-doctoral position at the University of Helsinki in the Department of Environmental Sciences and is the working group coordinator for the Finnish Water Forum. She will be here at UBC Geography for the next few months working on various projects in water history.
Paula is currently conducting a comparative study of the history of ice in Helsinki and Berlin.
The breadth of her work and its interdisciplinary nature can be gauged by the range of journals in which she has published from Global Environment to Ambio to Environment and History, as well as several Finnish journals.
