معرفی
Dr. Ivan Arismendi is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife at Oregon State University. His research focuses on freshwater ecology, climate change impacts, biological invasions, and diversity in science. He holds a Doctorate in Forest Sciences (2010) from Universidad Austral, Chile, and a BS in Fisheries Engineering (1997). His work bridges field experiments, modeling, and policy, addressing threats to freshwater ecosystems.
- Affiliations: College of Agricultural Sciences, Oregon State University.
- Key Roles: Undergraduate Student Advisor, Lab Director, and Course Instructor (FW 456/556 & FW 350).
- Research Interests: Stream ecology, limnology, climate change consequences, and diversity equity in STEM.
Education:
- Postdoctoral Scholar (2010-2012): Oregon State University, CEOAS.
- PhD in Forest Sciences (2010): Universidad Austral, Chile.
- B.S. Fisheries Engineering (Maximum Distinction): Universidad Austral, Chile (1997).
Research Focus: Examines climate change effects on freshwater thermal regimes, non-native species impacts (e.g., salmonids), and freshwater-terrestrial linkages. His work emphasizes resilience and vulnerability of ecosystems to human and climatic pressures.
Recent Articles Trends: Highlight climate-driven shifts in species distribution, parasite-host interactions in reservoirs, and functional diversity metrics for ecosystem health. His studies integrate field observations with modeling to address complex ecological dynamics.
