Research Interests:
Brian is a geomorphologist who studies the changing world. Whether it be temporal changes associated with climate change or spatial changes at the interface between different environments. He has studied earth systems around the world with extensive experience in the Canadian Arctic. Using geophysical, remote sensing and geochemical techniques to study terrain stability, coastal processes, glacier dynamics and hydrology. He is currently working on measuring and predicting coastal erosion, ground movement, hydrological conditions and characterizing terrain conditions.
