John Bennett
Cryospheric Expert
John works at Noetix Research, creating web applications for satellite imagery in northern Canada, especially for use in coastal communities.

Monique Bernier
Monique Bernier
River Ice Expert
Monique specializes in remote sensing applied to water resources, particularly snow, river ice, peat bogs, and soil moisture.

Ross Brown
Ross Brown
Snow Expert
Ross' focus is documenting and understanding variability and change in the Canadian cryosphere, particularly snow cover, and is a contributing author to the IPCC assessments.

Liam Colgan
Liam Colgan
Glacier Expert
Liam uses a combination of computer modelling, satellite remote sensing and field observations to study the interaction between climate and glaciers, specifically the Greenland Ice Sheet.

Chris Derksen
Chris Derksen
Snow Expert
Chris uses airborne and satellite remote sensing to study the state, variability, and change of the cryosphere, including its role in the global climate system.

Claude Duguay
Claude Duguay
Lake Ice Expert
Claude directs the Interdisciplinary Centre on Climate Change at the University of Waterloo. His research focuses on climate-cryosphere interactions, hydrology, remote sensing, and modelling.
