“Dave was always two steps ahead of everyone else,” Tim Papakyriakou, a professor in the Department of Environment and Geography at the University of Manitoba, says of Dr. Barber’s ability to plan huge projects.International Polar Year – Circumpolar Flaw-Lead system study
He was ahead of his time around acknowledging Indigenous ways of knowing, and helped organize events at the University of Manitoba and as part of the International Polar Year study project that involved Inuit peoples. David George Barber was born on Nov. 28, 1960, in Dauphin, Man., to Victor and June Barber. He was known as Little Dave by elder brothers Sam, Jamie and Doug. The siblings all learned to fly and spent time at the family cabin on the Waterhen River – a fly-in community at the time – hunting and fishing.David’s father, Vic, was fascinated by local history and the travels of the early fur traders, so re-created some of their travels by canoe.
He completed a master’s at the Natural Resources Institute at U of M, wrapping up that program in 1987 and then did a PhD at the University of Waterloo in geography, focusing on Arctic climatology, which he completed in 1992. By 1999, Dr. Barber was a full professor and was named a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in 2002. He became associate dean of research for the Faculty of Environment in 2004 and Canada Research Chair Tier 1 in Arctic Systems Science in 2008, serving in that position until his death.
Lucette Barber herself became involved in planning, communications and outreach for the Centre for Earth Observation Science and other U of M projects.
