Bernie Bauer is a process geomorphologist specializing in coastal and aeolian environments--that is, he likes to spend time on beaches. Most of his research involves field work, which is directed at collecting high-quality data sets using electronic instrumentation to test advanced theories and ideas about how water and wind moves sediment to create various erosional and depositional features like sand dunes, nearshore bars, and beach cusps. |

Fes de Scally works mostly in high-mountain environments but has also spent considerable time investigating tropical cyclone hazards down at sea level...which goes to show that disciplinary breadth can in this case be measured as a range of elevation! |

Jason Pither is an ecologist with interests in biodiversity and landscape ecology. He and his students are currently investigating (i) invasive plants in antelope brush habitat of the south Okanagan (using field surveys), (ii) competing hypotheses regarding the nature of fundamental niche differentiation and its role in plant community assembly (simulation models), (iii) the biogeography of the flora and fauna inhabiting Canada's national parks (data mining and GIS work), and (iv) insect pollinator diversity and services within agricultural landscapes of the Okanagan Valley (field surveys). |

Ian Saunders loves the alpine environment, especially climatology. His research interests are varied, ranging from Quaternary geomorphology of mountainous areas in southern BC, to the physical microclimatology of tundra, and more recently focussing on the changing glacier resources in the Clachnacudainn Icefield area of the Columbia Mountains. |
