Biography

Dan J. Smith is a Professor of Geography in the Department of Geography at the University of Victoria, British Columbia. His research centres on the cold region attributes of high mountain regions in western Canada, where he currently leads graduate student-focused research expeditions to remote areas in the British Columbia Coast Mountains to document the long-term and historical response of glaciers and landscapes to changing climates. At the University he teaches courses in geomorphology, weather and climate, and hydrology, as well as leading undergraduate field courses to mountain settings that are always distant from the university campus.
