In-Flight Movie
Yesterday, I flew home to Toronto from the Netherlands, after handing in my PhD thesis. The plane had a camera pointing straight down that you could watch via the screens mounted in each seat. We had clear skies coming in over Labrador, and I spent the next two hours staring at the ground ten kilometers…
Fjords of the High Arctic
A few weeks ago, I was reading a book about glaciology recently when a sentence caught my eye. Many advances in our understanding of how glaciers developed and transformed our world during the last ice age came from studying the Canadian landscape. In particular: A benchmark example [of paleo ice sheet reconstruction] was the compilation…
Ungava Bay: Giving the Bay of Fundy a Run for its Money
Growing up in Canada, we were always taught that the Bay of Fundy, is home to the world’s highest tides. The difference between the highest high tides and lowest low tides is 17.0 m, plus or minus 0.2 m [Arbic et al., 2007]. When I was younger (long before I ever knew that coastal engineering…
