Areas of Research

Remote Sensing of the Polar Environment

My past and current research span across topics in remote sensing, polar climate and geophysics, adult pedagogy, and knowledge co-production with Inuit groups in the Canadian Arctic. Through a synergy of satellite observations, computational toolset, and partnerships in the Arctic, I am taking an active role in delivering tangible output such as training modules on radar remote sensing, tailored to Inuit learners, and local-scale weekly sea ice maps for travel safety in the northern communities. To further my research career, I aim to apply my proficiency in satellite retrieval of snow and ice properties and my experience in transdisciplinary collaboration to improve current understanding and predictability of complex cryospheric processes. Such knowledge will critically inform the research community and broader stakeholders to make decisions that enhance climate adaptability in a dynamic future.
