Michael Healey
Professor Emeritus
Ecology, Fisheries, Water, Climate Change, Policy Analysis
I am trained in ecology and environmental science. Most of my research has been on fisheries (primarily salmonids) and issues related to water management. I have been particularly concerned with how scientific information is used in development of government policy and programs for natural resource management (particularly water). Since retirement, I have devoted a great deal of time to the implications of climate change for society, economy, and the environment.
