He has been a faculty member in the Department of Geography, University of Victoria, since 1967. A tenured professor, he has authored or edited some 250 publications, the majority of which focus on reducing disaster losses or identifying the causes of chronic disease or longevity. He has published hypotheses on the origins of numerous diseases including myocardial infarction, SIDS, cancer, diabetes, schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, stroke, and AIDS. His many books include Disaster Planning: The Preservation of Life and Property, Springer Verlag, New York; Reducing Cancer Mortality: A Geographical Perspective, Western Geographical Press, Victoria; and The Ozymandias Principles, Southdowne Press, Victoria.

In addition, he is series editor of the Western Geographical Press and is a member of the boards of the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine and the International Schizophrenia Foundation. He has been a consultant to numerous organizations, including the United Nations, NATO, and the governments of Canada, Ontario, and British Columbia. Every day he takes at least the recommended daily allowance of the known essential nutrients, in the belief that this will slow the aging process. As a consequence, most of his salary is spent in health food stores. His other bad habits include providing treats to all the neighbourhood dogs; losing at chess to his computer; being regularly beaten by his stepson Dan at video games; and, with the assistance of @Derby and various computer models, failing to correctly predict the outcomes of horse races.
