Welcome to the SFU Glaciology Group!

The Glaciology Group in the SFU Department of Earth Sciences strives to understand the role of glaciers and ice sheets in the global climate system by studying fundamental processes that will ultimately permit better projections of cryospheric change. To learn more about what we do and how we do it, have a look at our publications and student theses by searching the SFU Summit repository (search on "glacier" and select "Flowers, Gwenn" under Thesis Advisor).

Opportunities

If you are interested in graduate studies, please send an e-mail inquiry to Dr. Gwenn Flowers outlining your interests and how they align with the group's scope of research and expertise. Include your CV and transcripts. Inquiries are welcomed from students of a variety of science backgrounds, including Earth sciences, physics, applied mathematics and engineering. Prospective students must have at least the equivalent of university-level calculus and physics, and most students will require some geoscience coursework in order to be eligible for funding through teaching assistantships. Have a look at our information for prospective graduate students in Earth Sciences and the SFU Glaciology Group expectations document.
