- Postdoctoral Fellow studying ornithology and conservation biology, University of Alberta
I have been involved in various ornithology and conservation biology studies for nearly 20 years. I have studied urban influences on habitat selection and breeding success of Northern Cardinals, how and where to manage urban rights-of-way as habitats for prairie plants and animals, how prairie birds respond to energy sector development, and how boreal forest bird communities respond to forestry and energy sector development. I currently do research for the Boreal Avian Modelling Project at the University of Alberta Department of Biological Sciences.
