Daniel Selbie

Dr. Selbie is a limnologist and environmental scientist, whose research and monitoring principally targets the freshwater life histories of Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.), and the structure, functioning, and productive capacity of their natal lake ecosystems. Aligned research foci include understanding cumulative and interactive environmental forcings on salmon (i.e. climate variability and change, anthropogenic stressors) in both freshwater and marine habitats, climate change impacts, vulnerabilities, and adaptation in ecosystems and society, and identification of limiting factors and mitigative actions to promote salmon and aquatic species at risk conservation.  Dr. Selbie’s research group, graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows integrate ecological, paleolimnological, fisheries, and environmental sciences, through field surveys, targeted experiments, and modeling to achieve research goals. 

Dr. Selbie is currently a Director of the BC Lakes Stewardship Society, and works closely with Indigenous nations, the Province of British Columbia, municipal governments, academia, and ENGO’s, providing critical interfaces with opportunities to directly engage interjurisdictionally and with citizen science.  Dr. Selbie is an Associate Editor with the Canadian Science Publishing journal Environmental Reviews.
