Erick grew up in Quebec, Canada with twin passions for music and nature.  After dropping out of high school, he lived in the Galapagos Islands for a year researching Darwin’s Finches.  He then worked on seabirds 800 miles north of the Arctic Circle with the Canadian Wildlife Service.  He returned for undergraduate studies at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia where he studied music and mathematics and later received a PhD from Princeton University.  He was the Director of UM’s Bird Ecology Lab and has broad interests in ecology, evolution and conservation. Erick will be talking about his experiences in the Pribilof Islands during the summer of 2022.
