His research has taken him from the Eurasian Arctic to Tropical Africa. Glen is an award-winning teacher and author, with academic experience in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States. He holds a number of honors including election to the National Academy of Sciences, election as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and recipient of the University of Helsinki Medal.
