Jan Bottenheim is a specialist in atmospheric chemistry. He was the first to observed ozone missing from parts of the Canadian Arctic and conclude it probably had something to do with ice. The ice-level ozone falls victim to reactive bromine atoms released naturally from saline polar waters. He has also been studying whether disappearing mercury in the air is linked to the presence of increased levels of the substance in plants and animals in the polar regions.

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.

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.

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.

Through his research, Jeffrey Kavanaugh seeks to improve our understanding of glacial systems: how they flow and respond to forcings, how they interact with climate and sea level, how they 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.

Alexandre Koustov is studying the Sun's influences on the Earth's upper atmosphere and ionosphere via electrodynamical processes. Mechanisms of the solar wind energy entry into the upper atmosphere and the establishment of plasma circulation at various ionospheric heights are being investigated. Research is based on data collected by various ground-based radars such as powerful incoherent-scatter radars, coherent HF SuperDARN radars and other radio systems. Another significant area of research is plasma physics of small-scale irregularity formation in the ionosphere at various heights and latitudes that affects the capabilities of coherent radars.

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.

Shawn Marshall's research touches on numerous aspects of glacier dynamics, glacier–climate processes, glacier dynamics, and boundary-layer meteorology. He has been engaged in long-term efforts examining the role of continental ice sheets in the global climate system, with a particular focus on millennial-scale climate instability during the Pleistocene glaciations. Current efforts include the development of subglacial process models to better capture their influence on large-scale ice-sheet dynamics.

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.

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 lakes are providing information on interactions between the continental and oceanic environments.

Christian Schoof is a mathematical/physical glaciologist interested in the dynamics of ice sheets, such as those found in Antarctica and Greenland. His work focuses on fundamental aspects of ice-sheet dynamics to answer questions such as: what drove the retreat of the West Antarctic ice sheet following the Last Glacial Maximum? How can large ice sheets disintegrate as quickly as 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.Barker, J.D., M.J.

Ted Shepherd studies theoretical aspects of geophysical fluid dynamics, with an emphasis on large-scale atmospheric dynamics and the fundamental principles, thus providing a systematic foundation for the different approximate model systems used. Examples of this research include nonlinear stability, wave-activity conservation laws, balanced dynamics, and weak-wave models. He is attempting to determine the extent to which climate models provide a physically realistic and reliable description of the atmosphere by working on transport and mixing, the circulation of
the middle atmosphere, and the role of unresolved processes in transferring energy and momentum. He has also been involved in international assessments concerning the science of ozone and climate change.

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.

Lyle Whyte’s research focuses on microbial biodiversity and ecology in high latitudes where unique habitats exist. Microbial communities are studied using both classical microbiology and novel genomics-based molecular techniques. The habitats include cold saline springs, permafrost and ground ice, and ice-shelf microbial-matt communities. Investigations explore the biodiversity, ecology, adaptations, and activity of microbial communities at subzero temperatures in cryoenvironments (best described as cryomicrobiology).
