I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Earth Sciences at The University of Western Ontario.
I spend several months of the year in the Canadian Arctic (Nunavut) and Greenland studying Quaternary and Surficial geology.
The main focus of my research is:
1) to reconstruct the ice-movement history in the Committee Bay area of Nunavut;
2) study mineral dispersal patterns to aid mineral exploration;
3) produce detailed surficial geology maps of the Committee Bay area.

My research in Nunavut was initiated during 2001 in the Arrowsmith River map area NTS 56O (south). The field camp was located on Walker Lake located in NTS 56J.

During the 2002 field season my research continued further east in the Ellice Hills map area NTS 56P.

In 2003 I conducted research in Greenland, which focused on landforms at the perimeter of the ice-sheet. Visit the photo gallery to view pictures.

In 2004 I conducted research in the NTS 56N and NTS 56O (south) map areas of lower Boothia Peninsula, Nunavut.
This work built upon research conducted in the Committee Bay area in 2001 and 2002.

In 2005 I conducted research in the NTS57A map area just south of the hamlet of Kugaaruk (Pelly Bay), Nunavut.

In 2006 I hope to defend my thesis.
