Research Week at MUN is an opportunity to share knowledge and expertise across disciplines, and engage broadly with the research community. Our lab group pre-recorded a presentation that highlights the work each of us is doing!

Introduction to Species Distribution Modeling

Screen Shot 2021-03-17 at 12.07.18 PM.pn

Katleen gave a webinar on species distribution modeling in R for the iAtlantic WP2 webinar series. Katleen takes us through the steps we should consider when conceptualizing SDMs, with a focus on data preparation, model fitting, training, and assessment, and making predictions.

Kate and Rylan presented their work in Conception Bay, Newfoundland at MEOPAR's Annual Science and Training Meeting. Kate is building seasonal habitat maps to understand how the spatial distribution of habitats and benthic communities changes over time. Rylan is studying the response of benthic fauna to the spring phytoplankton bloom using video and environmental sensors on the new Holyrood Underwater Observatory.

Shreya presented her thesis work on habitat mapping in Placentia Bay, Newfoundland at the Geomatics Atlantic 2020 conference. Shreya's work contributes to the biological component of seafloor maps in the region to predict the spatial distribution of benthic community assemblages and understand the environmental factors driving their distribution.
