My process |
Fieldwork and data science
|
Remote sensing
I use camera trapping to monitor wildlife on the ground, and satellite imagery to monitor habitat alterations from above I This |
Coding
I use ArcGIS (python) and Google Earth Engine (Javascript) to conduct spatial analyses, and R to perform statistics and data visualisation |

Noise and light pollution Does traffic-induced noise and light disturbance alter spatiotemporal patterns of habitat use in mammals?
Do prey and/or mesopredators fear traffic noise? I am addressing these questions by monitoring wildlife movement and behavior at crossing structures and wilderness areas across California, USA Collaborators: Fraser Shilling, Travis Longcore, Winston Vickers Click here to see wildlife images |
