WIRL team back from Ellesmere Island
Greg Crocker, Jill Rajewicz, Adam Garbo and Derek Mueller are back from Ellesmere Island. They had a productive field season and got lots of great data!
Congrats to Andrew Hamilton
Andrew Hamilton (co-supervised by Bernard Laval and Derek Mueller) just defended his PhD in the Department of Civil Engineering. Way to go!!
Ice island deterioration modelling opportunities
We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow (1 year term, starting in January 2016) and a PhD student (starting in September 2015) to develop and test an ice island deterioration model. Ice islands are extensive (up to several km long) tabular icebergs that break-off of ice shelves and floating ice tongues in the High Arctic. Over [...]
