Research
Dr. Ron Vincent specializes in the remote sensing of Arctic waters and climate change, focusing on satellite-derived sea and ice surface temperature algorithms, ice dynamics of the North Water Polynya, and polar dust loading. He is also involved in CubeSat mission development. He is the principal investigator of the CanX-7 Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) mission and is currently researching space weather and polar acoustic surveillance missions on CubeSat platforms. Dr. Vincent is the Director of the RMC Centre for Space Research.
Dr. Vincent also conducts research in Arctic remote sensing, specializing in sea surface temperature algorithms for arctic waters and marginal ice zones.
