APECS Terrestrial Biology Discipline Coordinator and Research Activities Committee Co-Chair

University of Alaska - Anchorage

Kim is a wildlife biologist and got involved with polar research in 2006 when she started to work with polar bears in Churchill, Canada. Kim’s research focuses on the usability and evaluation of short-term behaviour data (‘behaviour modeling’) from free-ranging mammals carried out in collaboration with the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the Institute for Wildlife Research in Hannover, Germany. Her background ranges from mammalian research in the tropics, coastal zones and temperate zones to the subarctic and she developed a high interest in interdisciplinary research as such. Currently she is analysing her 3 year polar bear behaviour data and keen on finding the right PhD position in the field of her major interest in the near future.
