Dr. Timothy D. James

I am originally from southern Ontario, but I spent much of my early years in Haliburton카지노 게임 컬렉션™s cottage country, where I acquired a love of nature and its landscapes, which later developed into an interest in the mechanisms of their formation and how they change over time. After graduating with a B.Sc.H. from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s 카지노게임사이트, specializing in GIS and remote sensing, I headed overseas to undertake a Master's at the 카지노게임사이트 of Cambridge where I developed expertise in terrain modelling and applied my new-found skills to forest ecology research. I then headed north to the 카지노게임사이트 of Leeds where my Ph.D. research investigated terrain modelling for high-precision applications (e.g., flood plain modelling), developing approaches for managing quality issues of large topographic data sets derived from aerial photography and laser altimetry. As I finished my Ph.D., I was invited to join the Glaciology Group at Leeds after which point I began working with stunning satellite and aerial imagery of glaciers and ice caps in Svalbard and Greenland. After completing two postdoctoral research fellowships (and 14 Arctic field expeditions), I took on the project management responsibilities of the Climate Change Consortium of Wales (C3W); a consortium of Welsh Universities whose aim was to establish a global centre of excellence for climate research. With my time split between project management, field logistics, research, and teaching, I was able to develop skills for managing large, multi-stakeholder projects and logistically demanding field work while maintaining my academic responsibilities. When C3W wrapped up, I finally returned to Canada (after nearly 20 years) and set my sights on the NGO sector, becoming a scientific advisor and consultant for WWF-Canada and WWF카지노 게임 컬렉션™s Arctic Programme while simultaneously establishing my communications business, High Impact Communications, which specializes in crafting and editing projects that target high impact journals and other outlets.

Last but not least, I have taught at all levels of undergraduate and graduate education, and my teaching interests are broad. However, I remember vividly during my early years at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s being enthralled by my first-year physical geography module where I learned about all the processes behind the landforms I knew so well from several childhood cross country road trips and drives through Ontario카지노 게임 컬렉션™s cottage country. For this reason, I really enjoy introducing new students to the wonderful world of geomorphology and quantitative methods for change detection monitoring.
