Dr. Marie Auger-Méthé receives UBC’s Charles A. McDowell Award for Excellence in Research

Dr. Marie Auger-Méthé

Congratulations to Dr. Marie Auger-Méthé, who has received UBC’s Charles A. McDowell Award for Excellence in Research. This award recognizes demonstrated excellence in pure or applied scientific research by a young faculty member.

Dr. Marie Auger-Méthé is an Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair (Tier II) in Statistical Ecology jointly appointed in UBC’s Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries and Department of Statistics. Her work is interdisciplinary in nature, intersecting ecology, statistics and marine ecology. She develops and applies statistical tools to infer behavioural, population, movement and space-use processes from empirical data. While she focuses on marine and polar species (narwhals and polar bears) the methods she has developed are applicable to a wide range of species and ecosystems, and particularly useful in the conservation and management of marine and polar ecosystems.

Prior to starting at UBC, Dr. Auger-Méthé did her PhD at the University of Alberta, and a BSC, MSc, and postdoctoral fellowship at Dalhousie University.
