Working with faculty members and students, Miles Ecclestone is responsible for writing, demonstrating labs and grading in several courses including Methods in Physical Geography, Geomorphology, Hydrometeorology Snow & Ice, and the Field Course in Geography. He is also responsible for the Geography teaching labs, the Trent Climate Station, departmental vehicles, departmental and scientific budgets, as well as the timetabling of courses.

   Mr. Ecclestone regularly aids graduate students and their supervisors with their field work requirements and occasionally "gets out into the field" himself. As Senior Technician familiar with the latest research methods and technology, he has been actively involved with glacier research in Canada's high arctic, planning as well as leading the field work component to the Expedition Fiord region of Axel Heiberg Island, Nunavut. Over the past two decades, Miles and numerous students have journeyed to the far North and put to practice many of the techniques learned in the classroom.
