Linda is a molecular ecologist with a research focus on ecological, environmental, and ancient genomics. She works with partners in academia, government, and non-governmental organizations in Canada and the United States to understand how environmental factors, including human influences, shape ecosystems and the evolutionary trajectory of wildlife. Linda’s interest is in applying genomics tools, in combination with traditional ecological approaches and community knowledge, to answer questions that will help inform and shape conservation policy.
