Dr. Robert Rockwell
American Museum of Natural History, Ornithology Department
Professor of Biology, City College of The City University of New York
 
Dr. Rockwell is widely known for his work as lead investigator on the Hudson Bay Project, which studies coastal arctic tundra ecosystems and their conservation.  He has directed the snow goose research program at La Pérouse Bay near Churchill, Manitoba, for nearly 25 years.  His most recent work, published in Polar Biology, discusses polar bear predation on snow goose populations due to the earlier annual breakup of sea ice.  Dr. Rockwell has studied the population ecology of the lesser snow goose and its effects on arctic marshes, Common Eiders of Greenland and Canada, the birds of Wapusk National Park (Hudson Bay, Canada), the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta of southwest Alaska, the genetic structure of wildlife populations, and other topics.  At the City University of New York, Dr. Rockwell teaches population ecology, biostatistics, and conservation biology.
