Stephan Gruber

Professor, Canada Research Chair

Stephan’s research focuses on permafrost and related phenomena in high-latitude and high-elevation environments. He aims to better anticipate and quantify the impacts that local human activity and global climate change have on geohazards and natural systems.

Stephan’s current research program is focused on Quantifying Permafrost Thaw, i.e. the loss of ice in the subsurface, and the persistent changes in physical characteristics of ground materials that this causes.
