Mallik Mahmud

Dr. Mallik Mahmud is an Assistant Professor at McGill University, leading the Polar Remote Sensing Group. His research focuses on Arctic sea ice dynamics in a warming climate, employing remote sensing and geophysical techniques to study atmosphere-sea ice-ocean interactions. He utilizes advanced radar systems (e.g., L-band, C-band) and machine learning to analyze sea ice properties across local and pan-Arctic scales. His work emphasizes snow-covered sea ice changes and their impact on geophysical parameter retrieval.

Academic Background:

• Ph.D., Department of Geography, University of Calgary, Canada
• Former Scientist at the Remote Sensing Institute, German Aerospace Center (DLR), Bremen, Germany

Research Interests:

• Arctic sea ice melt processes
• Microwave remote sensing applications
• Machine learning for environmental datasets
• Climate change impacts on polar ecosystems

Publications reflect a focus on multi-frequency radar analysis, melt pond dynamics, and synergistic remote sensing techniques. His work integrates field-based measurements with satellite data to improve understanding of Arctic environmental changes.

Labs/Teams: Dr. Mahmud directs the Polar Remote Sensing Group, fostering collaborative, field-driven research in the Arctic.
