Current research and/or projects
I have worked for the Geological Survey of Canada since 1989, conducting research on Canada's coasts and continental shelves. With colleagues I pioneered the use of multibeam sonar as a geological mapping tool, and am currently mapping off British Columbia. I have authored 58 departmental publications, 62 journal papers, 84 departmental publications (limited refereeing), and 230 un-refereed publications.
Research and/or project statements
Currently I am engaged in mapping the fjords of British Columbia to assess tsunami risk from submarine slope failure and also to reevaluate the dynamics of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet in the region.
