Carly’s research is centered in the growing field of urban landscape ecology. With her students, she employs citizen science, environmental sensors, field observations, and social-science methodologies to explore how the landscape structure of our cities influences biodiversity, ecosystem services, and their interaction over space and time. Work in the lab spans multiple taxa (from trees to bees), and is done through interdisciplinary collaboration with diverse partners, including landowners, community groups, and local through federal governments. The talk will give a broad overview of the lab’s recent research, drawing on empirical work in Montreal and data synthesis across multiple Canadian cities.
