Elisabeth Gilmore
Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Carleton University
Email: ElisabethGilmore@cunet.carleton.ca
Gilmore is organizing a round table at COP29 at the Canadian government pavilion, hosted by Environment and Climate Change Canada. The round table will explore the role of interdisciplinary international research partnerships for scaling up climate actions that benefit climate, nature, and people with emphasis on global partnerships, empowering local stakeholders and honouring the rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities in Canada and around the world.
Gilmore works at the intersection of technology, society, and policy to better understand and identify solutions to the complex problems posed by climate change and global environmental issues, like air pollution. Her research has focused on developing scenarios for integrated assessments of climate change, modelling human responses to environmental changes, and technological and societal transformations for mitigation and adaptation to climate change.

Matthew Johnson
Professor and Head of the Energy & Emissions Research Lab (EERL), Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at Carleton University
Email: Matthew.Johnson@carleton.ca
Johnson is available to discuss COP29 and methane emissions and oil and gas sector emissions generally.
He will be presenting as part of an expert panel at a COP29 event within the Canadian Pavilion called “Methane Technology Development and Commercialization – From Canada to the World.”
Johnson is a two-time winner of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council’s (NSERC) prestigious accelerator award, he has worked extensively to translate peer-reviewed research results into practice. His EERL combines advanced experimentation, simulation, and statistical analysis in both large-scale controlled lab experiments and field work and employs a suite of advanced optical diagnostics, analytic tools, and experimental capabilities, unparalleled in Canada. As of 2024, EERL has successfully completed field measurement studies on four continents with research contributions that include comprehensive protocols for creating measurement-based methane inventories, novel “VentX” technology for quantifying unsteady methane flows, “sky-LOSA” technology for measuring black carbon emissions from flares, techno-economic analysis of methane mitigation potential, and quantitative analysis of regulatory equivalency. His work underpins Canada’s National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report, has been incorporated in provincial and federal standards and regulations, and is regularly cited in international methane and black carbon mitigation efforts.

Tristan MacLean
NSERC PermafrostNet Director of Operations at Carleton University
Email: tristan.maclean@carleton.ca
MacLean is a former molecular neuropathologist who studied prion diseases which highlighted the importance of public understanding of science and led to a post-graduate degree in science education. He was then promoted to carry out this role across the UK on behalf of the. He has a wide range of science communication, public engagement and education experience in academia, museums, schools and the community, including producing a play about the history of women in science, that was performed at the Royal Institution in London. Prior to joining the NSERC PermafrostNet, Tristan was with Evidence for Democracy where he produced a report on the funding of climate science in Canada.

Alexandra Mallett
Professor, School of Public Policy and Administration at Carleton University
Email: Alexandra.Mallett@carleton.ca
Mallett is available to discuss sustainability and climate change issues.
Mallett’s experience spans academia and the public sectors, working on the design, implementation and evaluation of energy, climate change and environmental policy.
Her research interests include examining the innovation, co-operation, and adoption processes involved in sustainable energy technologies, especially in emerging economies, Canada and the United States. Her research also focuses on changes in the governance of natural resources, with a particular focus on mining.

Chris Russill
Professor, School of Journalism and Communication at Carleton University
Email: Chris.Russill@carleton.ca
Russill is an academic director at Re.Climate, a centre for climate communication and public engagement which is housed at Carleton. His current work focuses on problems of disinformation and denial in their relevance to climate action.
Russill co-edited Critical Approaches to Climate Change and Civic Action with Anabela Carvalho and Julie Doyle, a collection exploring conceptual invention in public forms of climate action. He has also edited Earth Observing Media, a collection engaging with the politics of Google Earth, digital globes, drones, radar, sonar, GPS, migration, missile photography, and satellite imaging.
He is an associate editor at Science and Environmental Communication and serves on the boards of Environmental Communication, Palgrave Studies in Media and Environmental Communication, and Communication Undisciplined. He teaches classes in climate change and communication.
