The Department of Environment and Geography is one of the most dynamic and eclectic research units at the University of Manitoba.

Current research in the Department of Environment and Geography can be broadly divided into five integrated themes:

Biogeography and terrestrial ecology

Socio-ecology of risk, restoration ecology of prairie, riparian forest and urban habitat, population dynamics and dispersal of invasive species.

Environmental chemistry and toxicology

The chemical processes, and transport of contaminants across environmental interfaces, ecotoxicology; ecological risk assessment and water quality.

Atmospheric science and surface-atmosphere coupling

Surface climates, biogeophysics of surface heat and mass exchange, atmospheric dynamics, thermodynamics and severe weather.

Sea ice, glaciology and ocean science

Sea ice geophysics, glacier and ice sheet dynamics, polar marine systems, trophic structure, paleoclimate through ice cores, energy and contaminant flows.

Geomatics and remote sensing

Closely integrated with the other five themes, this involves the development of techniques for the gathering and analysis of information.
