My research focuses on improving our understanding of glacier dynamics and recent changes of ice masses, and their links to climate change. This involves making measurements using both satellite imagery and fieldwork. In recent years I have undertaken fieldwork in the Canadian High Arctic, Yukon, Antarctica and Himalayas.

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.

Research information:
My work focuses on identifying barriers to innovation or change that would lead to a sustainable society. This includes not only legal, but regulatory and administrative barriers, such as leasing agreements, standards, codes or ways of measuring energy savings. This is a way of applying change management principles to the transition to a sustainable society.

Research information:
My main field of research is applied Geomatics. Geomatics consists of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS), Global Positioning systems(GPS), Spatial Analysis, Cartography, and Geodesy. Like information systems in general, geomatics is an enabling science that extends the IT model into the geographic realm with techniques and methods applicable to almost every conceivable discipline. For example, I currently have active projects in fields including: disaster mapping of tsunami devestated regions in the Bay of Bengal, health geography/epidimiology, wireless telecommunications, precision agriculture, and Quaternary climate change among others. Geomatics underlies our everyday activities as the science is used for both the planning and management of anything that exists in geographic space.
