Disturbance ecology and environmental changes affecting permafrost landforms are the two main areas of Dr. Kershaw's research. Since 1973 these field-based investigations have been conducted in northern and alpine areas of Canada, including winter as well as growing-season research. Efforts are made to build on existing long-term data bases that extend from the mid-1940's to incorporate the extremes that these areas experience. Year-round data collection is possible with automated installations that log atmospheric and soil climate values. Natural and assisted re-vegetation of anthropogenic disturbances and the abiotic effects of industrial activities are under investigation.
