Markus Schnorbus joined PCIC in April 2009 and became Lead Hydrologist in July 2010. Prior to joining PCIC Markus was a Hydrologic Modelling Scientist and Forecaster with the BC Ministry of Environment, River Forecast Centre, where he was engaged in the analysis of observed climate and hydrometric data and the application of various hydrologic models for flood, drought and seasonal streamflow forecasting.
Stephen is currently working as a PCIC Regional Climate Impacts Analyst, evaluating statistical downscaling techniques and providing an analysis of projected climate impacts on communities in the Pacific and Yukon region using a variety of future climate scenarios. He previously provided software development and meteorological analysis for the University of Victoria school-based weather station network, and studied precipitation trends on Vancouver Island as part of his graduate work.
Shelley joined PCIC in 2011 and has served as the Administrative Coordinator who provides executive support to the Director and also the Lead Planning and Operations to facilitate day-to-day operations. Prior to joining PCIC, Shelley had 7-years of research and administration experience in university settings both in and out of Canada.
Arelia (Werner) Schoeneberg is a hydrologist at the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium, where she is investigating the influence of climate change on streamflow for several major watersheds in BC. Her areas of expertise include hydrologic modelling, selecting global climate models, evaluating future projections and statistical downscaling. Arelia started at PCIC in 2006, holds a BSc in Environmental Science from UBC and a MSc in Geography from the Water and Climate Impact Research Centre at UVIC.
Michael Shumlich serves PCIC as a Scientific Information Specialist, focusing on science communication and media. Michael has a BSc in physics and an MSc in atmospheric science from the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of Victoria, where his research focused on the climate impacts of shortwave radiation management geoengineering. Michael also has several years of experience in graphic design and communications.
Dr. Francis Zwiers is the Scientist Emeritus at the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium (PCIC) at the University of Victoria. His former roles include director of the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium (PCIC), chief of the Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis and director of the Climate Research Division, both at Environment and Climate Change Canada. As a research scientist, his expertise is in the application of statistical methods to the analysis of observed and simulated climate variability and change. Dr.
