Research information:
My research is focused on understanding how glaciers, ice caps, icebergs, and other components of the Earth's cryosphere are changing in a warming climate. Using a combination of satellite remote sensing, geospatial analysis, and field measurements, this includes investigations of glacier dynamics, glacier mass loss, iceberg production, Arctic environmental change, and the implications of these processes for natural hazards, marine transportation and communities. Most of my work is undertaken in the Canadian Arctic and other high-latitude regions.

Research information:
I am an expert on the effects of climate warming on polar regions, especially on permafrost, the landscape, and northerners. I currently work in the Yukon and the Canadian High Arctic on subjects such as measuring recent changes in permafrost temperatures, predicting current permafrost distribution and rates of thaw, and landsliding. This research is relevant to hazard prediction and the development of roads and pipelines, as well as adaptation to climate change in the North. I am currently Senior Vice-President of the International Permafrost Association and will become President in 2012.
