Research Interests
I am a physical geographer and field scientist who studies landscape and seabed history from a variety of perspectives to address a range of research questions from theoretical to applied. My approach is strongly interdisciplinary and collaborative, involving analysis and expertise from a range of disciplines in the earth, life, and social sciences. My current project titles illustrate this approach and provide a general picture of my research pursuits:
- Dynamics of the Newfoundland Ice Cap,
- Mapping postglacial sea levels and submerged landscapes,
- Prehistoric settlement, subsistence and environment in Newfoundland,
- Multibeam bathymetric mapping for seabed morphology and habitat classification,
- Climate sensitivity of tundra and boreal ecosystems in Labrador highlands,
- Climate-change impacts in Arctic coastal communities.
