Glacier melt modelling |
|
This project is to increase our understanding of the processes generating streamflow in the headwater catchment of Peyto Glacier in the Canadian Rockies. Using a combination of fieldwork and computer modelling, I investigate the current patterns of melt at Peyto glacier and how this environment will transition from a glacier-dominated environment to near ice-free at the end of the century.
Ground based infrared imagery in mountain environments |
|
Ground-based infrared imagery can give surface temperature at a high spatial and temporal resolution. My research developed and tested this approach to gain insight on melt pattern of tropical glacier, with further work transferring this approach to look into spatial variability of stream temperature. Ground-based infrared imagery can also be useful to investigate debris-cover distribution and buried ice.
Monitoring Glaciers and Weather |
|
From the high mountains in Peru to the Northwest Territories in Canada and Alaska, I have spent time monitoring glacier accumulation and melt, designing and installing weather stations, and overall digging out buried stations.
Early Career Networks
Through my involvement in ECR networks, I organize events to enrich opportunities for professional development and connect early-career researchers. I also aim to represent and further the interests and inclusion of early-career researchers in the established science community.
