Gergel is an American ecologist and professor in the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences at the University of British Columbia.[1] She is an influential landscape ecologist, know for her research linking landscapes and rivers,[2] and her role in enhancing training in the practice of landscape ecology. Education and careerSarah Gergel studied wildlife ecology an undergraduate student at the University of Florida. There she was introduced to landscape ecology as she worked as a research assistant to influential landscape ecologist Larry Harris.[3] She then moved to University of Wisconsin - Madison to work with influential landscape ecologist Monica Turner. to obtain her Masters in 1996, on “Dissolved organic carbon as an indicator of the scale of watershed influence on north temperate lakes and rivers” and PhD in 2001 on “Human-altered disturbance regimes: effects of flood control along the Wisconsin River.” Following her PhD, she was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship to National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis at University fo California Santa Barbara, where she developed models of how the abundance and configuration of how the abundance and configuration of wetlands influences flows of nutrients from agricultural land into freshwater. She was then hired by the University of British Columbia in 2003 as a assistant professor in the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences in UBC's Faculty of Forestry. She is now is a professor in the same department, and she also serves as Associate Dean, Diversity and Inclusion for the Faculty of Forestry.[4] ResearchDuring her time at UBC, Sarah Gergel has expanded her landscape ecology work to develop novel methods to examine changes in ecosystem services over time[5] and connect quantitative landscape ecology methods to local knowledge.[6] Both through work with first nations and through collaborations with CIFOR[7] Sarah Gergel lead the development of a key book for the field of landscape ecology, Learning Landscape Ecology, that brought together a diverse set of landscape ecology researchers to write chapters describing a wide variety of techniques used in landscape ecology.[8] The first edition of learning landscape ecology came out in 2002. This book has been widely used around the world, and has been translated into Korean. In 2017 a fully revised and updated second edition was published.[9] The second edition was more international and included a new section on social-ecological systems approaches and newer methods and techniques. The new edition of this book was recognised as been an essential contribution to the study and teaching of landscape ecology.[10] Awards and honoursIn 2018, Gergel was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in its section of Geology and Geography.[11] Books
