He received his PhD from the University of Guelph in 2005 and worked as an NSERC postdoctoral fellow with Kathy Martin in the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences at UBC.\u00a0 Since signing on to ECCC in 2010, he has developed a research program on sandpipers using estuaries as migratory stopovers, including their foraging on intertidal microalgae. This program involves shorebird tracking, chemical analyses, and drone technology to look at how coastal mudflats provide essential nutrients for long-distance migration of shorebirds.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>See you on Thursday in the Beaty Museum Allan Yap Theatre!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>_______________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bonnie Leung <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>RES Program Support (she\/her\/hers)<\/p>\n<p>Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability (IRES)<\/p>\n<p>University of British Columbia | Vancouver Campus | Musqueam Traditional Territory<\/p>\n<p>Aquatic Ecosystems Research Laboratory (AERL Building)<\/p>\n<p>Room 429 \u2013 2202 Main Mall | Vancouver, BC | V6T 1Z4 | Canada<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Email: <a href=\"mailto:bonnie.leung@ubc.ca\">bonnie.leung@ubc.ca<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tel: 604-822-9249<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The next IRES Seminar is this Thursday.\u00a0 In the Beaty Museum Allan Yap Theatre.
