1971 Doctor of Philosophy in Physics, University of Toronto.
He is director of the Centre for Global Change Science, principal investigator of the Polar Climate Stability Network, and the Scientific Director of Canada"s largest supercomputer centre, SciNet. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and of the American Geophysical Union. His research interests include: atmospheric and oceanic waves and turbulence, geophysical fluid dynamics, physics of the planetary interior, and planetary climate.
He is notable for his involvement in global glacial reconstructions from the last glacial maximum to present.
He has been a major (or the primary) contributor to the global reconstructions Institute of Civil Engineers-3G, Institute of Civil Engineers-4G, Institute of Civil Engineers-5G (VM2), and the upcoming Institute of Civil Engineers-6G (VM5) (in press). These models are important for the quantification of post-glacial rebound and late Pleistocene to Holocene variations in sea level
