McGILL'S C2GCR APPOINTS NEW DIRECTORThe McGill Centre for Climate and Global Change Research (C2GCR) has appointed Nigel Roulet as its new Director. Professor Roulet assumed the position on June 1, and will replace Professor Lawrence Mysak, FRSC, who is stepping down after serving for six years as founding director.The Centre for Climate and Global Change Research was established in March 1990 to promote multidisciplinary research on the interactive physical, biological, chemical and socio-economic processes which regulate the global environment, and to provide a stimulating academic environment for graduate and post doctoral students in the emerging fields of earth system science and climate and global change impacts. The Centre comprises 17 faculty from six different departments of McGill University, Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) and Université de Montréal. Approximately 60 graduate students and six post-doctoral fellows working in climate and global change research are being supervised by the Centre members. Professor Roulet joined the Department of Geography at McGill University on January 1, 1994. He moved there after nine years at York University. Professor Roulet has a wide range of experience in climate and environmental change, dealing with such topics as land surface climate modelling, biospheric-atmospheric exchange of trace gases, and bio-geochemical cycles of temperate through arctic ecosystems. With the appointment of Professor Roulet the Centre will continue its research on atmospheric-surface interactions, and atmospheric-ice-ocean interactions and climate variability, but will add studies on the Centre’s growing interests in climate-biospheric interactions and the human dimensions of global change.
