Matthew Gale is a MSc candidate at the Centre for Earth Observation Science at the University of Manitoba. His research is biological oceanography with a focus on under ice bloom dynamics specifically the driving factors associated with it, as well as temporal and spatial changes. This study will help to predict ecosystem changes associated with climate change. |

Travis Hamilton
MScEng Student
Department of Geodesy and Geomatics, University of New Brunswick |
 |
Travis Hamilton is an MScEng student with the Ocean Mapping Group at the University of New Brunswick. His research is part of the Ocean Mapping Groups efforts to improve upon the uncertainties, and distribution of multibeam echo sounder data. This work improves the ability to detect and understand seabed geohazards discovered in the Arctic each summer through opportunistic and planned multibeam surveys aboard the CCGS Amundsen. |

Rocky Taylor, PEng, MEng
PhD Candidate
Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's |
 |
Rocky Taylor was the successful recipient of this award for 2009. At the time the award was conferred, Rocky was a PhD candidate at Memorial University. His research focused on scale effects associated with compressive ice failure, with particular emphasis on contributions due to random averaging of loads across a region, and statistical aspects of fracture. This work aimed to guide the development of improved methodology for estimating design loads for ships and structures operating in ice conditions through improved understanding and modeling of ice failure processes. |
