Prof. Andrew J. Daugulis Department of Chemical Engineering, Queen's University, 19 Division Street, Kingston, Ontario, K7L 3N6 E-mail: andrew.daugulis@chee.queensu.ca; Tel: (613) 533-2784; Fax: (613) 533-6637 URL: http://chemeng.queensu.ca/people/faculty/Daugulis/index.php Research projects undertaken by Andrew Daugulis are focused on developing novel bioprocesses for both environmental and biotechnology applications. A two-phase partitioning bioreactor has been developed, patented, and licensed. Because bioprocesses are often limited by toxic molecules, either present or generated in such systems, his strategy has been to incorporate an immiscible second phase within a bioreactor whose function is to selectively partition toxic molecules, either to the microorganisms (in degradative reactions) or away from the microorganisms (in synthesis reactions).

Polar Rec., 42(2), 111–120 Prof. Jörn Davidsen Complexity Science Group, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, T2N 1N4 E-mail: davidsen@phas.ucalgary.ca; Tel: (403) 210-7964; Fax: (403) 289-3331 URL: www.ucalgary.ca/complexity/davidsen Jörn Davidsen uses a highly data-driven theoretical approach to develop conceptual models that provide an appropriate coarse-grained description of a system. With these models, properties that are not sensitive to the details of the system can be predicted. He is trying to identify quantitative patterns in the time evolution and structure of (geo-)physical, biological and chemical systems that may be robust against changes in the details of the system.

Prof. Serge Demers Institut des sciences de la mer de Rimouski (ISMER), Université du Québec á Rimouski (UQAR), C.P. 3300, 310, allée des Ursulines, Rimouski, Québec, G5L 3A1 E-mail: serge_demers@uqar.qc.ca; Tel: (418) 723-1986 x 1651; Fax: (418) 724-1842 URL: www.aquatic.uoguelph.ca/Human/Research/def/demerss.htm Serge Demers is a biological oceanographer with expertise in phytoplankton ecophysiology. He has been researching the physiological responses of phytoplankton to hydrodynamic processes. He has worked in polar and subpolar areas on phytoplankton ecology and, more recently, on the importance of the microbial loop in planktonic ecosystems. The main focus of his research is the environmental consequences of enhanced ultraviolet (UV) radiation, conducted in a series of mesocosm experiments in which captured sea water (and its associated chemical and biological constituents) is exposed to varying elevated levels of UV-B radiation. In Rimouski, he has assembled a team of scientists that is actively studying UV effects on coastal ecosystems. Sargian, P., S. Mas, É. Pelletier and S. Demers. 2007.

To accomplish this goal, a variety of methods and tools are used, including field observations, reanalysis of datasets, remote sensing, and numerical modelling.

She is currently developing new research on Canada’s strategy for polar science and a Canadian Antarctic Research Program. Dey Nuttall, A. 2010.

Prof. Matt Dobbs Department of Physics, McGill University, 3600 rue Université, Montréal, Quebec, H3A 2T8 E-mail: mdobbs@physics.mcgill.ca; Tel: (514) 398-6500; Fax: (514) 398-8434 URL: www.physics.mcgill.ca/~mdobbs/ The McGill Cosmology Instrumentation Laboratory (MCgIL) group, led by Matt Dobbs, designs and builds new instrumentation for observational cosmology. Instruments are deployed and operated from the geographic South Pole to the top of the stratosphere. The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is designed to study the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation at small angular scales. Chief amongst the initial science goals is a survey of the night sky for the signature that galaxy clusters leave on the CMB through the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. The new measurements should shed light on the surprising and mysterious dark-energy phenomena that acts like an "anti-gravity" force, causing the universe to accelerate its expansion.

By examining paleo- and bio-indicators, such as diatoms, preserved in lake-sediment cores, it is possible to track environmental changes. Different diatom species are present under different environmental conditions. Marianne Douglas, Chair of the Canadian Committee on Antarctic Research, has worked extensively within the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. As part of the Canadian Arctic Antarctic Exchange Program, she undertook an Antarctic field season on Livingston Island, in collaboration with the Bulgarian Antarctic Programme, and has completed field seasons in the Dry Valleys of Antarctica. She uses paleolimnology to reconstruct past environmental baseline conditions. Pienitz, R., M.S.V. Douglas and J.P. Smol. 2004. Epilogue: paleolimnological research from Arctic and Antarctic regions.

He is undertaking research on changes in the ozone layer, air quality and climate change. Measurements are made throughout the atmospheric column, from balloons and satellites. The key to all the measurements is the reflection, absorption, scattering and transmission of various wavelengths and the changes induced by the constituents of the atmosphere. Even though these are present in parts per billion, most of the chemical and radiative properties of the atmosphere are determined by the “minor constituents” rather than the “major constituents” such as oxygen and nitrogen.

By investigating the entire fill of several large basins and reconstructing paleoenvironments during the Neoproterozoic and late Paleozoic glacial eras he hopes to resolve this debate. Work is aimed at filling key data gaps in the understanding of cold climates on planet Earth and their geological record. Detailed sedimentological descriptions of glacial deposits form part of a broader effort at understanding the causes of glaciations. Eyles, N. 2008.
