Mitchell Dickau

Mitchell Dickau is a student researcher at Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) as well as a PhD candidate studying climate science in the Geography, Planning, and Environment department at Concordia University. In his research, Mitchell uses an intermediate complexity Earth system model to investigate how Earth responds to anthropogenic emissions. His research interests include estimating the size of the remaining carbon budget and investigating how temperature overshoot affects the climate. Mitchell's previous research focussed on the effect of climate change on outdoor skating under various emissions pathways.

Working as a student researcher for the Canadian Centre for Climate Services at ECCC, Mitchell works on a project developing projections of different fire weather indices under a range of future emissions scenarios.
