University of British Columbia – Okanagan
UBC Okanagan opened its doors in 2005, establishing a new university that is a highly interdisciplinary, research-intensive and intimate learning community in Kelowna, B.C. The Species at Risk and Habitat Studies (SARAHS) Centre opened its lab facility at UBC Okanagan in March 2006. The Centre enables researchers to identify and examine forces crucial to the success of species and habitats that are at risk. Founded upon a highly interdisciplinary research team, the SARAHS Centre has expertise in areas including conservation biology, genetics, GIS, physiology, climate change, statistics, and mathematical modeling. This wide-ranging expertise enables SARAHS researchers to provide a comprehensive picture of the scientific issues surrounding species at risk. The ultimate aim is to gather the knowledge necessary to inform management plans and land use policies.
