Assessing how the cryosphere and landscapes are responding to anthropogenic impacts and climate change has been an important goal in Earth system science over the past decade, especially with respect to projections of water resources and natural hazards due to shrinking glaciers and ice caps. Dr. Koppes research examines relationships between climate change, ice dynamics, meltwater production, and the erosion of landscapes. Her program will inform our understanding of the dynamics of polar ice sheets, and improve predictions of changes in ice masses, hazards and water resources in a warming climate, as part of Canadas contribution to global climate science.

评估冰冻圈和地貌如何应对人为影响和气候变化一直是过去十年来地球系统科学的一个重要目标，特别是在预测水资源和冰川和冰帽萎缩造成的自然灾害方面。Koppes博士的研究探讨了气候变化，冰动力学，融水生产和景观侵蚀之间的关系。她的计划将为我们了解极地冰盖的动态提供信息，并改善对气候变暖中冰量、危险和水资源变化的预测，这是加拿大对全球气候科学贡献的一部分。
