Dr. Susan Salafsky, Ecologist \/ Science Advisor for the Mid-Valley STEM-CTE Hub<\/strong><\/h4>\n

As an ecologist, Dr. Salafsky studied how extreme drought followed by record-high precipitation influenced forest food webs and identified the impacts of water retention and structural complexity on the productivity of habitats. She used this information to explore ways of modifying timber harvests to enhance the ability of terrestrial and aquatic species to withstand changing environmental conditions.<\/p>\n

More recently, and in response to the pandemic, Dr. Salafsky is currently developing an Outdoor Science program and Community Science projects to enhance the engagement of students in environmental science and biodiversity conservation.<\/p>\n
