Chloe completed her B.Sc. (Honours) in Biology with a concentration in Marine Studies spring 2022 from the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, NB. As an undergraduate student, she worked on the changes in biodiversity of flora along New Brunswick's coastline of the Bay of Fundy, invasive bark beetles, and helped with a Wood Turtle conservation project.
She was awarded an NSERC CGS M scholarship to fund her Master's research at Concordia, where she will now be working on bird biodiversity and success in Montreal's urban greenspaces.
Chloe's MSc researchwill focus on how human disturbance (quantified by greenspace trail density and human use) impacts nest success of several species of open-cup nesting birds in Montreal. She is also interested in thinking about how temperature increase might impact these birds' nest construction.
Chloe is working under the supervision of Dr. Carly Ziter in the Department of Biology at Concordia University and is co-supervised by Dr. Barbara Frei with Environment and Climate Change Canada.
The working title of Chloe's thesis is Bird is the Word: Impacts of trail density and human use on bird nesting success in Montreal's urban greenspaces.
