Physical Geography
Research Areas: Renewable Energy Development and Implementation, Agricultural and forest bioenergy, Environmental and energy policy, and Renewable energy mapping.
Research Areas: Photogrammetry, Remotely Piloted Autonomous Systems, Cartography, Mobile GIS, Surveying, Historic Aerial and Satellite Imagery, Critical Heritage Studies, and Energy Geography
Research Areas: GIS, remote sensing, spatial data analysis and modeling, change detection, machine learning methods
Research Areas: Arctic-alpine landscape ecology and species distribution modelling, Biodiversity conservation and protected area management, and Forest-tundra ecotone dynamics and susceptibility to change.
Research Areas: Biogeochemistry of cold environments, Carbon and nutrient cycling in permafrost and alpine catchments, and Climate change and disturbance impacts on hydrology and water quality in permafrost watersheds.
Research Areas: Biogeochemical cycling in natural systems, especially the role of microorganisms in waters, soils, and sediments. Due to observed and predicted increases in temperatures and hydrologic activity in the Arctic, this work helps us to understand how climate change will impact the terrestrial landscape of high latitude environments.
Research Areas: Vegetation and landscape effects on nutrient cycling and greenhouse gas emissions from high-arctic ecosystems; land-use change effects on net (sources and sinks) greenhouse gas emissions; modeling of biogeochemical processes (e.g. carbon and nitrogen cycling) in terrestrial ecosystems; impacts of land-use history on contemporary ecosystem dynamics
Research Areas: Surface-atmosphere interactions influenced by management and human-induced modification of ecosystems; trace gas exchanges; wetland ecosystems.
Research Areas: Active monitoring and prediction of northern landscape evolution using innovative geospatial, geophysical, and climate-coupled modelling techniques designed to identify and address current challenges facing the rapidly changing Arctic
Research Areas: Cryosphere; Climate Change; Arctic; Subarctic; Permafrost; Glaciology; Adaptation; Communities.
