Biography

Joyce Lundberg was educated in Trinity College, Dublin, Australia National University, Canberra (M.Sc), Bristol University (PGCE), and McMaster University, Hamilton (Ph,D). She joined the faculty in 1990. Her research interests centre around sea level change and paleoclimatology (using radiometric dating of cave calcites and fossil coral) but she maintains an on-going concern with karst geomorphology, both arctic and tropical.

Research Interests

• Quaternary sea level change
• Karst geomorphology and speleology
• Paleoclimate and geochronology of carbonate s

2012-2013 Courses

• GEOG 1010 [Global Environmental Systems]
• GEOG 2020 [Physical Environments of Canada]
• GEOG 4101 [Quaternary Geography]
