Chris
Harley studies population and community ecology on rocky shores, with an
emphasis on the impact of global climate change on marine systems. He
conducts research on how temperature modifies biological relationships such
as predation and facilitation, and how these variables determine the
abundance and diversity of barnacles, mussels, sea stars, snails, and
seaweeds. His other projects include work on biophysical modeling,
population dynamics, biogeography, and the impacts of invasive species in
North America and Patagonia.
Dr. Harley is
currently an assistant professor in the Department of Zoology at the
University of British Columbia. He received his doctorate from the
University of Washington in 2001, and spent two years at the Hopkins Marine
Station (Stanford University) and two years at the Bodega Marine Laboratory
(University of California, Davis) before arriving in Vancouver in 2005.
