Biography
My research program is focused on understanding the role of thermodynamic processes involved in the growth, evolution, and decay of snow-covered Arctic sea ice. I am recognized for my expertise in snow cover process examination on sea ice using of surface and satellite-based multifrequency and polarimetric microwave remote sensing. This includes involvement in both field and laboratory-based research programs and numerical modelling activities aimed at understanding Arctic sea ice thickness distributions in a rapidly changing Arctic. My research team is currently involved in two collaborative international Arctic sea ice remote sensing research programs, namely, MOSAiC www.mosaicobservatory.org and the Churchill Marine Observatory http://umanitoba.ca/ceos/research/CMO.html
