معرفی
Andreas Hamann is a Professor in the Department of Renewable Resources at the University of Alberta's Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences. He holds dual roles as Director Academic & Communication and leads research in global change biology, climate adaptation, and forest ecology. His work integrates genetics, dendrochronology, and statistical modeling to address climate change impacts on tree species. Hamann maintains extensive climate databases (ClimateNA, ClimateEU) for North America, Europe, and Africa, supporting ecological research and resource management.
- Education: Ph.D. in Ecology (not explicitly stated but inferred from career trajectory)
- Research Focus: Climate change adaptation strategies, tree population genetics, and phenological responses to warming
Research Interests: His lab explores forest tree resilience to climate extremes, ecological genetics, and predictive modeling for reforestation. Key projects include analyzing plant response to climate variability, dendroecological studies of tree growth, and developing climate-based seed zones. Funding sources include NSERC, Alberta Ingenuity, and international collaborations.
Teaching: Teaches courses in applied statistics (REN R 480/580), multivariate statistics (REN R 690), and research project design (REN R 906). Emphasizes statistical literacy and machine learning tools for environmental data analysis.
Grants & Collaborations: Secured over $1M in funding for projects like 'Assisted Migration Strategies' and 'Climate Data Development'. Collaborates with UBC, CSIRO, and European institutions on global change biology.
Labs/Teams: Leads the Spatial Information Systems (SIS) Lab, housing graduate students and staff working on GIS, climate modeling, and ecological databases. Supervises a dynamic team of PhD, MSc, and MF students focused on climate change adaptation.
