Dr. David Walker is a quantitative terrestrial ecologist that specializes in geomatics and wildlife conservation. His principal teaching commitments are in environmental mapping, geospatial technologies such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and wildlife management. The courses he teaches have a strong experiential component in lab and field exercises and he assists in the delivery of several environmental field courses. He has research programs in the Canadian boreal forest focusing on environmental impacts of hydroelectric development on wildlife species such as caribou, and in temperate grassland landscapes focusing on invasive species, ecosystem health and wildlife conservation. He has worked on international conservation and development projects in the tropics and sub-tropics, promoting health, sustainability and environmental education.
