Locky, David - MacEwan University - Department of Biological Sciences

个人简介

Dr. Locky is a wetland ecologist specializing in boreal and temperate systems. He began his training as a Fish and Wildlife Technician (1984) and later did a BES Geography with an emphasis on biogeography (1997). His postgraduate work includes an M.Sc. Biology where he examined the effects of constructed wetlands on bird communities and vegetation (1999) and a PhD in environmental biology and ecology, where his research was focussed on boreal peatland classification, biogeochemistry, plant diversity and rarity, the impacts of logging on peatlands, and biogeographical determinants of plant diversity and rarity in peatlands (2005). Dr. Locky's research interests and expertise are broad and include wetland classification and evaluation, plant rarity, diversity, and biogeography, plant ecology, bird and amphibian ecology, wetland biogeochemistry, natural and human impacts on wetlands, limnology, and wetland policy and practice. He has conducted wetland and other research in the subarctic, boreal, foothills, prairie, and temperate regions across Canada. He is a practicing Professional Wetland Scientist and Professional Biologist and has experience conducting environmental impact assessments, wetland delineation and evaluations, plant community classification, and rare plant surveys. Recently he has been expanding his research into restoration ecology. Dr. Locky has been a faculty member at MacEwan University since 2010 and currently teaches Contemporary Issues in Freshwater Ecology, Biostatistics, Freshwater Ecology, and Principles of Ecology, and co-teaches Field Methods in Ecology. He holds Adjunct Professor positions at the University of Alberta and at Athabasca University, participates as a graduate student co-superviser, and sits on graduate student committees.
