Dr Erika Eliason

Erika recently started a new position as the Associate Dean of Science and Horticulture at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in BC, Canada. Prior to this transition, she was an Associate Professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara for seven years. Erika received her BSc from Simon Fraser University, MSc and PhD from the University of British Columbia, and held an NSERC postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Sydney and Carleton University. As an ecological physiologist, Erika uses a combination of field and lab-based studies to investigate how fish cope with anthropogenic stressors (e.g. temperature, fisheries interactions). Much of her research focuses on how climate change affects physiological performance across populations, age, body size, and sex in marine and freshwater fishes. Tackling both basic and applied questions, Erika’s research is informing conservation policy and enhancing the management of natural resources. Erika has served on the editorial board for ICES Journal of Marine Science, Journal of Fish Biology and Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences.  Dr. Eliason has been a Co-Editor of the Fish Physiology series since 2020. She was awarded the Cameron Award for the Best PhD Thesis in Zoology in Canada from the Canadian Society of Zoologists, the Boutilier New Investigator Award from the Canadian Society of Zoologists, and the President’s Medal for the Animal Section from the Society for Experimental Biology.
