Andrew Medeiros, Associate Professor at the School for Resource and Environmental Studies at Dalhousie University, is the 2024-25 UW Fulbright Canada Visiting Research Chair in Arctic Studies and an expert in freshwater ecology, biogeochemical processes, and Arctic environments. Dr. Medeiros joins the Canadian Studies Center for winter and spring quarters and will be teaching ARCTIC 401: Environmental Change and Challenges in winter 2025.
His research focuses on the use of biological, hydrological, and geochemical indicators to examine responses to environmental change in northern ecosystems; past, present, and future. This is applied through the examination of gradients of ecological condition (e.g., climate change, ecological sustainability, anthropogenic disturbance) over large spatial and temporal scales. His research on the evolution of northern ecosystems over the past 10,000 years allows for predictions and modeling of future responses to environmental change.
