Glaciological Research

The main themes of our current glaciological research include:

• Our long-term field study of Trapridge Glacier, Yukon. This glacier is surge-type and we have been observing the onset and decline of its most recent advance. We are particularly interested in examining the subglacial processes that control the flow of this glacier.

• We are interest in cryospheric modelling from a number of perspectives.

• Numerous abrupt climate change events occurred during the last Ice Age. We are interested in examining potential cryospheric triggers for abrupt climate change.
