Big data in ecology for
understanding the responses
of wildlife to global change
Welcome! We are a brand new research group based in the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Natural Resources at Rutgers University- New Brunswick
We ask questions by combining big ecological datasets (e.g., citizen science), remote sensing data, geospatial tools, and quantitative techniques including machine learning.
Our big question:
How is global change impacting wildlife distributions, movement, behavior, and biodiversity patterns across regions, seasons and species?
We also explore how and why species have shifted their geographic ranges under climate change, and how to best predict future shifts
We often think about how short-term disturbance impacts wildlife species occurrence, behavior and movement
We engage in public outreach including bird walks with the public across central NJ
Jeremy’s wildlife photography has been published in National Geographic books, a variety of newspapers, and has appeared on 15 scientific journal covers.
