Research Interests / Contacts
 
Natural Resources and Environmental Studies (NRES) is one of four primary research themes at UNBC: improving understanding of phenomena and processes related to the atmospheric sciences is a key component of this work. Our faculty are members of the university's NRES Institute, which seeks to promote inter-disciplinary studies spanning the physical environment, ecology, biology and the social sciences.

• Dr Stephen Déry
  Associate Professor, Canada Research Chair in Northern Hydrometeorology
  Dr Déry's interests focus on the impacts of climate-change in the North, in both British Columbia and elsewhere in Canada, relating primarily to interactions between atmospheric and hydrological processes.

• Dr Peter Jackson
  Professor of Atmospheric Science
  Dr Jackson is a mesoscale meteorologist, with primary research interests relating to windflow and other atmospheric processes in complex landscapes, such as in mountainous terrain and along coastlines. His investigations are based on a combination of in situ and remote observations, as well as numerical simulations.
