We apply the latest advancements in technology and statistics to forecast the effects of a changing climate on the abundance and distribution of America's wildlife
NEON provides hyperspectral and LiDAR data collected annually by an aerial observation platform. We use this data to better understand the local traits of ecosystems.
We use NASA satellites to understand how temperature, soil moisture, and the productivity of trees and other planets drives the structure and composition of communities.
We use data collected by field assistants and research technicians from the National Ecological Observatory Network to develop our joint attribute models, and estimate where and when species will occur in the future under climate change.
