Heather Kharouba

Biography

Dr. Heather is working as a Professor in Department of Biology, at University of Ottawa, Canada. Her research program is motivated by the key challenge facing ecologists and conservation biologists today: to accurately predict how global change will affect biodiversity. She study how and why species vary in the way they respond to global change. She conduct research at multiple scales to understand both the causes and consequences of this variation and integrate field surveys and experiments, data synthesis, and modeling to understand the factors that structure species’ distributions, phenologies (the timing of life history events) and interactions. She is the author of many articles published in several reputed journals.
