Assessing how the cryosphere and landscapes are responding to anthropogenic impacts and climate change has been an important goal in Earth system science over the past decade, especially with respect to projections of water resources and natural hazards due to shrinking glaciers and ice caps. Dr. Koppes research examines relationships between climate change, ice dynamics, meltwater production, and the erosion of landscapes. Her program will inform our understanding of the dynamics of polar ice sheets, and improve predictions of changes in ice masses, hazards and water resources in a warming climate, as part of Canadas contribution to global climate science.

在过去的十年中，评估冰冻圈和景观如何应对人为影响和气候变化，这是地球系统科学的重要目标，尤其是由于冰川和冰盖的缩小而导致的水资源和自然危害。 Koppes Research博士研究了气候变化，冰动态，融合水生产和景观侵蚀之间的关系。她的计划将告知我们对极地冰盖动态的理解，并在温暖的气候下改善对冰块，危害和水资源变化的预测，这是加拿大对全球气候科学的贡献的一部分。
