John Clague has published 200 papers, reports, and monographs on a wide range of earth science topics of regional and national importance. He has prepared innovative geoscience products for educators and the public. He has had numerous television and radio interviews (CBC Newsworld, CBC Radio, CTV Television) and has been featured in newspaper and magazine articles (Vancouver Sun, Victoria Times-Colonist, Equinox, Beautiful B.C., Westside News, The Westerly News). Clague’s research was featured in a 1997 Discovery Channel documentary on earthquakes and tsunamis on the west coast of Canada. He has influenced Quaternary scientists in the United States and Europe and his research on earthquakes, landslides, and floods has greatly increased public and official awareness of these hazards.
John Clague is the former Editor-in-Chief of the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences and is currently Vice President of INQUA (International Union for Quaternary Research). He is a member of numerous national and international professional committees and commissions, supervises numerous M.Sc. and Ph.D. students at Simon Fraser University, and serves on the supervisory committees of many more. Clague has given about 200 lectures at several North American universities, professional meetings, and public venues, and reviewed scores of papers for scientific journals.
