Michele Koppes | Lab Director<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Koppes is a Professor of Geography and Faculty Associate at the Institute for Resources, Environment, and Sustainability at the University of British Columbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her research focuses on landscape response to climate change, from the current day to the long term. She is fascinated with all rates of geomorphic change, particularly the effects of glaciers and humans on mountain landscapes and how cultures perceive and adapt to these changes. In addition to her scholarly interests, she is involved in creative science communication, transformative education, and critical approaches to physical geography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba with some younger years in Red Lake Ontario. I have an honors degree in Geography from the University of Manitoba and did my undergraduate thesis looking at the spatial relationships between Arctic shipping and marine mammals in Inuit communities. My interests lay in big data, AI, and geospatial science and how they can be applied to climate change impacts for policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">This led me to become a Jr. Science Advisor for the Canadian federal government in the national capital region, applying spatial data in the support and development of science policy in Canada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I am now pursuing my Master of Science in Geography in the Landscapes lab. My current interests shifted towards geoheritage and the co-production of knowledge. My interests in geoheritage are rooted in my passion for museums, where geoparks can be thought of as outdoor museums showcasing beautiful landscapes, local cultures, and the natural\/anthropogenic histories surrounding the region. Currently, I am exploring geoheritage sites in South Korea and Canada with the use of GIScience, co-produced with local knowledges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Email: <\/strong><a href=\"mailto:joshua.kakepetum@ubc.ca\">joshua.kakepetum@ubc.ca<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ececec;color:#ececec\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:30px;font-style:normal;font-weight:200\">Lab Alumni<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/landscapeslab\/files\/2024\/05\/Tatshenshini_Lee-138-2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-770\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover;object-position:5% 9%;width:266px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/landscapeslab\/files\/2024\/05\/Tatshenshini_Lee-138-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/landscapeslab\/files\/2024\/05\/Tatshenshini_Lee-138-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/landscapeslab\/files\/2024\/05\/Tatshenshini_Lee-138-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/landscapeslab\/files\/2024\/05\/Tatshenshini_Lee-138-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/landscapeslab\/files\/2024\/05\/Tatshenshini_Lee-138-2-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/landscapeslab\/files\/2024\/05\/Tatshenshini_Lee-138-2-620x930.jpg 620w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/landscapeslab\/files\/2024\/05\/Tatshenshini_Lee-138-2-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pb-accordion-item c-accordion__item js-accordion-item no-js\" data-initially-open=\"false\" data-click-to-close=\"true\" data-auto-close=\"true\" data-scroll=\"false\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\"><h4 id=\"at-4090\" class=\"c-accordion__title js-accordion-controller\" role=\"button\"><br><strong>Annika Ord | MSc<\/strong><\/h4><div id=\"ac-4090\" class=\"c-accordion__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Annika’s research focused on learning from Indigenous and place-based knowledge to understand the impact of glacier loss on coastal ecosystems, hazards, food resources, and culture in Ling\u00edt Aan\u00ed.
