This group aims to be forward-thinking in the development and incorporation of new and cutting-edge methods and models to maximize the information gained from ecological data over large spatial extents.

Our projects and team members are advancing our capabilities in describing ecological and evolutionary processes from spatiotemporal species distribution models to individual niche dynamics. Many of our approaches are based around connecting datasets from disparate, multi-modal sources by leveraging advances in statistics and machine learning that allow us to gain deeper insights on complex ecological processes.
