Michael Stacey is a professor in the physics department at the Royal Military College of  Canada (RMC) in Kingston Ontario. He has a Hon. B.Sc.  (physics and math) from the University of British Columbia (UBC) and a Ph.D. (1983) in physical oceanography from Dalhousie University. His thesis research was a theoretical study of the dynamics of  turbidity currents. He was a postdoctoral fellow (1983-1985) at the Institute of Ocean Sciences in Sidney, B.C., and a research associate (1985-1987) at UBC. At IOS he studied the tidally-forced circulation in B.C. fjords, and at UBC he studied the sub-tidal 
circulation in the Strait of Georgia. Since 1987 he has taught at Canadian Military Colleges, first at Royal Roads Military College in Victoria (1987-1995) and now at RMC. At RMC, he continues his research of the circulation in fjords and of coastal oceanography. He also teaches undergraduate courses in physics and graduate courses in physical oceanography.

He has been a member of the CMOS Nominating Committee (1991-1993), a member of the local arrangements committee for the 1990 CMOS Annual Congress in Victoria and the secretary of the Vancouver Island Chapter of CMOS (1987-1991).  He has served as the Treasurer of the CMOS National Executive, he is on the editorial board of  Atmosphere-Ocean, and he is a Canadian delegate to the International Association of the Physical Sciences of the Ocean (IAPSO).
