Biography

Born in Ottawa and raised in Montréal, D. Scott Munro completed his doctorate at McMaster University in 1975, focusing on heat transfer and melting glacier ice. He has held a position in the Geography department at the Mississauga Campus of the University of Toronto since 1987, where he has conducted extensive research on evaporation in wetlands and gained recognition for his discoveries related to turbulent transfer at glacier boundary-layers. His teaching spans both basic and advanced climatology, climate change, urban climatology, glaciology, and regional geography, with a particular focus on specialized graduate-level courses. He collaborates with the Centre for Hydrology at the University of Saskatchewan, particularly in research involving Peyto Glacier and has contributed significantly to the field of Earth Systems Science Data through his publications. Munro's work includes studies on hydrometeorological and glaciological geospatial research data for the Peyto Glacier Research Basin, as well as insights into supraglacial runoff and heat transfer processes relevant to climate dynamics.
