Grant Gilchrist

Grant Gilchrist is an Adjunct Research Professor in the Department of Biology at Carleton University, affiliated with the Faculty of Science. His research focuses on the conservation and management of Arctic sea ducks and pelagic seabirds in Canada and Greenland, addressing critical issues such as foraging behavior, population demography, and the impacts of climate change (e.g., sea ice dynamics) on these species. He collaborates with universities and Aboriginal communities to ensure sustainable resource management practices and integrate Indigenous knowledge into conservation strategies.
