Stephanie Green is a Professor and Canada Research Chair at the University of Alberta, specializing in Aquatic Global Change Ecology and Conservation. Her research focuses on understanding the causes and consequences of biodiversity change in marine ecosystems. She employs a variety of methodologies, including oceanographic surveys, behavioral observations, field experiments, theoretical statistical models, and stakeholder surveys, to investigate the impacts of climate change, harvesting practices, and biological invasions on the structure and function of marine food webs. Her lab aims to develop science-based tools to inform conservation and restoration efforts in the context of global change. Collaborating with local community members and practitioners, her research ensures that the ecological questions posed are relevant to addressing immediate practical information needs. Green also pairs ecological and social science approaches to assess the social-ecological effects of coastal development and habitat restoration. She teaches several courses, including Marine Population Ecology & Dynamics and Principles of Ecology, and offers independent research opportunities for undergraduate students interested in marine biology.
