Adam T. Ford is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of British Columbia and Canada Research Chair in Restoration Ecology. Adam's work examine the impact of human activity on the interactions among large predators (e.g., wolves, bears, cougars), their prey (e.g., deer, elk) and plants in human-modified landscapes. Adam’s research will use a combination of field experiments, camera traps, GPS tracking, computer models and satellite images to bring together the ecology of individuals, populations and communities.
