Andrew Derocher is a professor in the Faculty of Science at the University of Alberta, specializing in biological sciences. His extensive research focuses on the ecology, conservation, and management of large Arctic mammals, particularly polar bears. Over the past 40 years, he has studied the limiting and regulating factors that affect polar bear populations, habitat use, and the effects of climate change and toxic chemicals on these animals. His work has emphasized the importance of assessing various ecological factors, including predator-prey relationships and human impacts on northern carnivores. Derocher collaborates with territorial, provincial, and federal government agencies to conduct his research, which not only aims to improve the understanding of polar bear ecology but also encompasses broader carnivore ecology within Arctic and boreal ecosystems.
