Garry Clarke’s research is devoted to understanding the physics of glaciers and ice sheets; in
particular, the ice-flow instabilities that cause extreme oscillations in flow rate in some glaciers,
and which, during the last Ice Age, appear to have triggered rapid changes in global climate.
Improved knowledge of ice-sheet physics is being used to construct computational models that
simulate the dynamics of ancient and modern ice sheets. He is attempting to unravel some secrets
of the Ice Age and discover what factors account for the rapid and ugly surprises that
characterized the Ice Age climate system.

Research projects undertaken by Andrew Daugulis are focused on developing novel bioprocesses
for both environmental and biotechnology applications. A two-phase partitioning bioreactor has
been developed, patented, and licensed. Because bioprocesses are often limited by toxic
molecules, either present or generated in such systems, his strategy has been to incorporate an
immiscible second phase within a bioreactor whose function is to selectively partition toxic
molecules, either to the microorganisms (in degradative reactions) or away from the
microorganisms (in synthesis reactions).

Jörn Davidsen uses a highly data-driven theoretical approach to develop conceptual models that
provide an appropriate coarse-grained description of a system. With these models, properties that
are not sensitive to the details of the system can be predicted. He is trying to identify quantitative
patterns in the time evolution and structure of (geo-)physical, biological and chemical systems
that may be robust against changes in the details of the system.

Serge Demers is a biological oceanographer with expertise in phytoplankton ecophysiology. He
has been researching the physiological responses of phytoplankton to hydrodynamic processes.
He has worked in polar and subpolar areas on phytoplankton ecology and, more recently, on the
importance of the microbial loop in planktonic ecosystems. The main focus of his research is the
environmental consequences of enhanced ultraviolet (UV) radiation, conducted in a series of
mesocosm experiments in which captured sea water (and its associated chemical and biological
constituents) is exposed to varying elevated levels of UV-B radiation. In Rimouski, he has
assembled a team of scientists that is actively studying UV effects on coastal ecosystems.

The McGill Cosmology Instrumentation Laboratory (MCgIL) group, led by Matt Dobbs, designs
and builds new instrumentation for observational cosmology. Instruments are deployed and
operated from the geographic South Pole to the top of the stratosphere. The South Pole
Telescope (SPT) is designed to study the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation at
small angular scales. Chief amongst the initial science goals is a survey of the night sky for the
signature that galaxy clusters leave on the CMB through the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. The new
measurements should shed light on the surprising and mysterious dark-energy phenomena that
acts like an "anti-gravity" force, causing the universe to accelerate its expansion.

Research is focused on reconstructing past environmental change at high latitudes. By examining
paleo- and bio-indicators, such as diatoms, preserved in lake-sediment cores, it is possible to
track environmental changes. Different diatom species are present under different environmental
conditions. Marianne Douglas, Chair of the Canadian Committee on Antarctic Research, has
worked extensively within the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. As part of the Canadian Arctic
Antarctic Exchange Program, she undertook an Antarctic field season on Livingston Island, in
collaboration with the Bulgarian Antarctic Programme, and has completed field seasons in the
Dry Valleys of Antarctica. She uses paleolimnology to reconstruct past environmental baseline
conditions.

James Drummond holds the Canada Research Chair in Remote Sounding of Atmospheres. He is
undertaking research on changes in the ozone layer, air quality and climate change.
Measurements are made throughout the atmospheric column, from balloons and satellites. The
key to all the measurements is the reflection, absorption, scattering and transmission of various
wavelengths and the changes induced by the constituents of the atmosphere. Even though these
are present in parts per billion, most of the chemical and radiative properties of the atmosphere
are determined by the “minor constituents” rather than the “major constituents” such as oxygen
and nitrogen.

Detailed studies by Nick Eyles and his research group have revealed that many ‘tillites', used by
some to support the catastrophist Snowball Earth model, are not glacial, but originated where
sediment flowed downslope in tectonically active sedimentary basins. By investigating the entire
fill of several large basins and reconstructing paleoenvironments during the Neoproterozoic and
late Paleozoic glacial eras he hopes to resolve this debate. Work is aimed at filling key data gaps
in the understanding of cold climates on planet Earth and their geological record. Detailed
sedimentological descriptions of glacial deposits form part of a broader effort at understanding
the causes of glaciations.

Kevin Hall is interested in weathering in cold regions, as well as sorted patterned ground and
zoogeomorphology. In addition to specialized studies on mechanical weathering processes,
especially thermal stress, freeze-thaw, and wetting and drying, he studies biological weathering
processes associated with endolithic and chasmolithic organisms. He undertakes field studies and
computer-controlled laboratory simulations based on field data. A freezing stage can replicate
Antarctic rock temperatures for the investigation of grain-scale thermal conditions.

Gil Holder’s research is currently focused on cosmology, particularly on the formation of
structure in the universe. When the universe was roughly 300,000 years old it was in a state with
density fluctuations (in the baryons) of a few parts per million. Today, we see superclusters,
clusters of galaxies, galaxies, stars, planets, and the world around us. This process of structure
formation should have observable imprints, either through scattering effects (such as the
Sunyaev–Zel’dovich effect) or by gravitational distortions (of distant background objects or of
the microwave background fluctuations).

Norman Hüner's research is focused on the mechanisms by which photosynthetic organisms
initially sense changes in their environment with respect to temperature, light intensity and
nutrient availability and subsequently adjust to these changes at the molecular, biochemical and
physiological levels. His team has discovered a general mechanism by which plants, green algae
and cyanbacteria sense the changes. The photosynthetic apparatus acts not only as an energy
transformer, but also as a sensor for the detection of environmental changes. Research in his
laboratory is elucidating the nature of this sensor as well as how it regulates gene expression and
controls the structure, composition and function of the photosynthetic apparatus.

archive past climates, and how they shape the landscape. His current research is focused on how
mechanical conditions at the glacier bed are controlled by hydraulic conditions in the subglacial
water system. He uses a variety of techniques to investigate the interactions between
hydrological and mechanical conditions at the glacier bed, ranging from developing and
installing novel subglacial instruments to developing and analyzing numerical models.

Paul Kushner’s main research interest is atmospheric winds and circulation patterns on
continental to planetary scales. These patterns are determined by dynamics internal to the
atmosphere, by climate forcings like anthropogenic greenhouse-gas emissions and ozone
depletion, and by interactions of the atmosphere with the surface. These kind of dynamics can be
explored using state-of-the-art climate models, and understood in detail through dynamical
theory and simplified versions of the climate models. He is also interested in surface processes
involving snow, sea ice, and lake systems, and their relationship to climate.

Ted Llewellyn’s expertise is in optical aeronomy, with particular emphasis on the use of airglow
emissions to derive atmospheric-state parameters, and on the interaction of spacecraft in low
Earth orbit with the atmosphere. Tomographic techniques are applied to the measurement of the
oxygen infrared atmospheric bands. New instrumentation is being developed to measure the
twilight sky spectrum to determine the atmospheric temperature profile and aerosol content.
Low-altitude spacecraft and rockets are frequently enveloped in a vehicle-induced glow, as the
glow brightness is both species- and temperature-dependent, there is in an on-going program to
use the glow signals as an indicator of the atomic oxygen content of the mesosphere and lower
thermosphere.

Kathryn McWilliams is a member of the Canadian SuperDARN team that uses an international
network of HF radars, nine at high northern latitudes and 6 in the Antarctic. These paired
Doppler radars measure the convection velocity over the Earth's polar ionospheres, largely where
the aurora borealis and aurora australis are most active. Information about both the particles and
the fields in the Earth's space environment are revealed by combining SuperDARN
measurements of the Earth's ionosphere, images of the ultraviolet aurora seen from space, images
of the visible aurora seen from the ground, magnetic fluctuations observed on the ground and in
space, and particles detected in the upper atmosphere, the magnetosphere, and the solar wind.

Bill Patterson's research focus is the application of light-stable-isotope geochemistry to questions
of paleoclimate, modern and paleohydrology/meteorology, life-history studies of a wide variety
of animals and plants, and sediment diagenesis. He has applied stable-isotope chemistry to reveal
the climate and life-history record stored in fish otoliths; accretionary aragonite structures
precipitated within the inner ear of most fishes. More recently, analyses of penguin bones,
feathers, tissue, eggshell and dietary remains have revealed changes in penguin behaviour and
response to climate changes over the last 38,000 years.

Martin Roy’s research interests include glacial geology, stratigraphy, Quaternary
paleoclimatology and the Laurentide ice sheet. The objective is to define the role of ice sheets in
the climate system, particularly the links between changes in ice-sheet dynamics and climate
changes in the past. It is based on the study of the composition of glacial sediments and revolves
around the integration of field data with new data on the configuration of the ice sheet. He is also
working on characterizing the evolution of glacial lakes that marked the last deglaciation by
using isotopes in glacial deposits to identify their sedimentary provenance. In the marine area,
sediment cores associated with the calving of icebergs from ice sheets and the drainage of glacial

they are known to have done? What caused the massive discharges of sediment-laden ice known
as Heinrich events? What is the likely future behaviour of West Antarctica and Greenland?

Martin Sharp's group has conducted research in the Ross Sea region of Antarctica since 2002.
The focus of their work has been on the biogeochemistry of glacier ice, meltwaters, marine ice
from the McMurdo Ice Shelf, and ice shelf melt-ponds. In parallel work, Sharp's research group
is conducting a series of incubation experiments on ice from Lower Wright Glacier, rich in
organic matter, to determine whether microbial populations there are involved in either
heterotrophy or methanogenesis and, if so, to understand the environmental constraints on the
rates at which these processes operate. Finally, they are using stable isotope, major ion and
nutrient chemistry to investigate the combined influences of water source (snow, glacier ice,
marine ice), weathering, microbial activity, and freezing-induced mineral precipitation on the
chemistry of ice-shelf melt ponds.

Jack Terhune, a biologist at the University of New Brunswick in Saint John, has been studying
the vocalizations of Weddell seals off the coast of Antarctica when they're defending their
territory. Weddell seals make sounds, called trills, that can travel over 30 km underwater, and
differ from region to region around the continent. Even relatively close neighbors speak different
dialects, suggesting that the various seal clans don't do much social mixing.

Andrew Weaver's research focuses on large-scale ocean circulation and the role of the oceans in
climate, with a special emphasis upon three-dimensional numerical modelling. Recent themes
include the stability and variability of the global thermohaline circulation, and feedbacks within
the coupled air–sea–ice climate system, along with possible implications for both past and future
climates. In collaboration with his research associates and graduate students, a hierarchy of
numerical models is being developed which range from simple conceptual models to applications
of the finite-element and semi-Lagrangian techniques to ocean models, and fully coupled climate
models with simple atmospheres.
