Dr. Garry Clarke

Garry Clarke, a notably sound geophysicist with a deep respect for thermodynamics, has become an international authority on thermal regimes of glaciers, and the effect of temperature on glacier flow, including the phenomenon of glacier surging. He is unquestionably Canada's leading scientist in these fields. Thoroughly adept at mathematical modeling and in the theoretical aspects of glaciology, he is equally at home both in instrumentation and in field work on the ice itself. He is an effective communicator with scientists in neighbouring disciplines, able to grasp their problems and apply his expertise to the solutions.
