About

Dr. Timm Döbert is a scientist, explorer, and athlete. He is a Canada Chapter Explorers Club member, a Royal Canadian Geographical Society fellow, and a Scientific Exploration Society fellow. En route to a PhD in Global Change Ecology, he spent over a decade in the Asia-Pacific region, conducting research in alpine meadows (New Zealand), tropical dry forests (Thailand), tropical rainforests (Malaysia), temperate forests (Australia), and tropical savannas (India), underpinned by a drive to safeguard wild spaces and wildlife. As a postdoctoral fellow at the U of A, he investigated land use effects on grassland biodiversity, carbon dynamics, and ecosystem processes.

BIOL 433 - Plant Animal Interactions

Plants and animals are engaged in a diversity of ecological interactions, with implications for evolutionary trajectories, species coexistence, and the delivery of ecosystem services. This course requires active engagement, which may include discussion and debate. Lecture content will include a diversity of advanced topics in ecology and evolutionary biology with a focus on species interactions. Prerequisite: BIOL 331 or 332 or BOT 332 or ZOOL 371.

BIOL 442 - Global Biogeochemical Cycles

This course explores the intersecting biological, chemical, and geological processes and reactions governing the cycling of elements that control our environment. Course discussions will include consideration of the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere, and will be framed by our understanding that elemental cycling on Earth is fundamentally altered by organisms. Coursework will incorporate current topics in anthropogenic alteration of the natural cycles critical for organismal and planetary function. Prerequisites: CHEM 101 and BIOL 208. Credit cannot be obtained for both BIOL 442 and 542.

BIOL 542 - Advanced Global Biogeochemical Cycles

This course explores the intersecting biological, chemical, and geological processes and reactions governing the cycling of elements that control our environment. Course discussions will include consideration of the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere, and will be framed by our understanding that elemental cycling on Earth is fundamentally altered by organisms. Coursework will incorporate current topics in anthropogenic alteration of the natural cycles critical for organismal and planetary function. Seminars are the same as for BIOL 442, but with additional assignments and evaluation appropriate to graduate studies. Prerequisite: consent of Instructor. Credit cannot be obtained for both BIOL 442 and 542.
