Dr. Lynn Moorman teaches physical geography, geomorphology, and advanced GIS/spatial analysis. Her goal in teaching is to make geographic concepts relatable and help students better understand their local environments and know the capabilities of mapping and modelling software to enhance their work and studies. Lynn's research interests lie at the intersection of spatial technologies and learning sciences with a focus on Digital Earth, remote sensing, GIS, citizen science, and applied visualization technology, including virtual and augmented reality to support geographic teaching and applied research. She is involved in active climate change adaption strategies including co-developing operational sea ice safety mapping programs with Inuit using optical and radar satellite imagery and drone data (SmartICE), and immersive technology development (GeoEpic). Lynn contributes to national and international geography education organizations including the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, Canadian Geographic Education, National Geographic, International Geography Olympiad (iGeo), and is a Canadian representative for the International Commission on Geographic Education.
