Research Interest
Dr. Mahmud's research falls under the broad area of Arctic sea ice research in a warming climate. At McGill, he leads a collaborative, HQP-driven research program built on field work in the Arctic. He uses remote sensing and sea ice geophysical methods to examine emergent atmosphere–sea ice–ocean properties and processes across scales. His work seeks to understand how snow-covered Arctic sea ice is changing under the new climate regime, and how that change affects the retrieval of snow and sea ice geophysical parameters. To do this, he combines low-frequency surface-based and satellite radar with geostatistical and machine-learning methods to investigate Arctic sea ice from local to pan-Arctic scales.
