Suzanne Simard
Suzanne Simard, Ph.D. is a Professor of Forest Ecology in the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences at the University of British Columbia. There she teaches courses in forest and soil ecology, and complex adaptive systems. Her research program focuses on natural and anthropogenic disturbance and climate change effects on the structure, function and resilience of forest ecosystems. She specializes in examining feedbacks and communication between plant and soil communities (particularly mycorrhizal fungi) and how these regulate energy and information flow (such as carbon and nutrient cycling) in ecosystems as complex adaptive systems. She has a vibrant lab of graduate students and is program leader for TerreWEB, an interdisciplinary graduate training program in climate change science and communication at UBC.
