Myron is currently a Research Assistant II at the Environmental Policy Institute (EPI – Grenfell Campus) of Memorial University of Newfoundland. He has led geospatial data analysis and mapping efforts for several key environmental research projects since joining EPI. Completing the Master of Science in Coastal Zone Management (University of Ulster), his thesis research concentrated on the ecological knowledge of Newfoundland and Labrador fishers highlighting their expertise in fishing and mental mapping. Recent project work includes food security analysis for a remote island, global climate change and associated potential impacts on boreal region agriculture, and a climate change downscaling temperature assessment for Newfoundland and Labrador. Myron is currently pursuing his PhD (Fisheries) at the International Fisheries Institute (University of Hull, United Kingdom), developing a tool to improve fish passage barrier removal decisions and cumulative effects of hydro-dams on riparian ecosystems.
