Biography
Ben Rubin, PhD Assistant Professor, Departmental Statistical Consultant, Forest ecology, landscape pathology, forest health monitoring, statistical analysis, of Department of Biology at the University of Western Ontario, Canada.
Research Interest
My areas of teaching interest are ecology and statistics. Recently, I have taught two ecological courses. In Environmental Biology students have the opportunity to learn the current state of the science concerning several major environmental issues. The course also focuses on scientific methods of gathering information and evidence about the relationship between humans and our environment. My field biology course takes place in mi- May at the Huntington Wildlife Forest in the central Adirondack Mountains, NY, USA. The students and I spend two weeks living at a research station and exploring the flora, fauna and history of the region and practicing field sampling methods.
