Lorene Lynn is a soil scientist and restoration ecologist who specializes in permafrost characteristics and tundra restoration ecology. She primarily works for oil and gas, government, and community clients in the Arctic and for mining, government, and private clients throughout Alaska. Lorene is a federally appointed member and Chair of the Science Technical Advisory Panel (STAP) for the North Slope Science Initiative (NSSI). Previously, she worked for HDR, the NRCS Soil Survey, and the USFWS. Her graduate studies on coastal erosion along the Beaufort Sea Coast of Alaska sparked a career in which she rarely experiences heat, instead working in a parka in the Arctic in the months most people associate with summer.
She lives in Palmer, Alaska with her husband and dog. Her two children have launched lives of their own in Alaska.
