Current Projects
Spatial Ecology
Population Ecology
- Fine-scale habitat modeling of king penguin breeding colonies
- Landscapes of risk: modeling non-consumptive interactions between marine mammals and tropical fish communities
- Structural changes of coral reefs across spatial and temporal scales
Population Ecology
