Research Group
Surface Processes Research Group
The Surface Processes Research Group (SPRG) in the Department of Geography, at the University of Guelph is led by Dr. Jaclyn Cockburn and consists of graduate and undergraduate students. We work closely with other researchers in the department (Dr. John Lindsay; Dr. Aaron Berg) and outside of the University of Guelph (Dr. Paul Villard at GEO Morphix Ltd. Milton, ON; Dr. John Garver, Union College, Schenectady, NY and the Bruce Peninsula Biosphere Association, ON). Finally, a valuable component of my research program is accomplished through community-engaged scholarship related to community partnerships in the Mohawk Watershed, NY, USA, and in working alongside the Bruce Peninsula Biosphere Association, ON, Canada.
