Biography
Dr. Ian Perry is a senior research scientist with the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans, at the Pacific Biological Station in Nanaimo, BC on Vancouver Island. His research expertise includes the effects of the environment on larval, juvenile and adult stages of finfish and invertebrates; the structure and function of marine ecosystems; ecosystem-based approaches to the management of marine resources; the human dimensions of marine ecosystem changes; methods for providing scientific advice for new and developing fisheries; and scientific leadership of international and inter-governmental programs on marine ecosystems and global change.
Dr. Perry currently heads the Ecosystem Approaches Program at the Pacific Biological Station, and is one of two co-leads for the DFO Strait of Georgia Ecosystem Research Initiative. In addition, he is the Chair of the international Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics (GLOBEC) program, whose goal is to understand how global change will affect the abundance, diversity and productivity of marine populations, and is a past Chief Scientist and Chair of the Science Board for the North Pacific Marine Science Organisation (PICES). He is an Adjunct Professor at the Fisheries Centre of the University of British Columbia, and has taught courses on fisheries oceanography at universities in Canada, Chile, and Portugal. He is a past Editor for the scientific journal Fisheries Oceanography, is presently an Associate Editor for the journal Ecology and Society, and is a member of the Editorial Boards for Fisheries Oceanography and Current opinion in Environmental Sustainability.
