About the Halsey A.C.e. Lab

The research in this lab stresses the importance of using long-term data sets, GIS, and remote sensing. To improve overall ecosystem health, we use computational approaches to understand the mechanisms involved in the patterns we see in nature. Most of our work involves using modeling approaches to delineate how spatial and temporal changes in ecological interactions influence a focal species with a particular interest in informing management actions.

Applied computational ecology takes an integrative approach to modeling complex systems while examining the consequences of management actions. Our broad focus is to determine the impacts biodiversity conservation and emerging diseases play across a hierarchy of spatial and temporal scales.
