Dr. Matt Mitchell is a Research Associate in the Faculty of Land and Food Systems at UBC. He works on how the structure of a landscape impacts the biodiversity found there as well as human impacts such as agriculture or urban development. Matt uses technology like smartphone apps for citizen scientists to monitor biodiversity, and audio recorders and camera traps for remote monitoring. Better knowledge about how land use affects the organisms that live there can lead to better policies on how to protect biodiversity.
