Dr. Robert Gilbert

To the Geographic Community,

It is with great sadness that I write to inform you of the passing of Dr. Robert Gilbert, Professor Emeritus, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s 카지노게임사이트. Dr. Gilbert passed away on April 27 after a brave battle with cancer. We have lost an extraordinary geographer and friend.

Professor Gilbert was a highly productive, dedicated and creative scientist. He joined the Geography Department at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s 카지노게임사이트 in Kingston in 1975 from the 카지노게임사이트 of Alberta where he was a Postdoctoral Fellow. He received his B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the 카지노게임사이트 of British Columbia in 1968, 1970 and 1972 respectively. At Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s, his research focused on the processes that occur in lakes and the sea, especially on how sediments are delivered to, distributed through, and deposited in water bodies in the Great Lakes region, western Canada, the Canadian Arctic, Greenland, Antarctica, Nepal and the southern United States. Professor Gilbert led by example through his passion for research and a deep commitment to teaching at all levels. Professor Gilbert taught undergraduate courses in Earth System Science, physical limnology and arctic and periglacial environments. At the graduate level he taught and supervised students in lacustrine and marine systems. Throughout his distinguished career, he has been a champion for the discipline. He has inspired many over the years and will be truly missed by his friends and colleagues.
