Research title: Spatiotemporal modelling and assessment of cetacean recording using multiple data sources
Research summary
In recent years, a growing number of nature conservation organisations have developed citizen science programmes to collect biodiversity data and monitor species trends. Many of these programmes employ publicly available smartphone apps to collect observations, often in tandem with structured survey programmes using defined protocols. However, because of differences in data collection methods, combining data from standardised surveys with citizen science observations tends to present multiple challenges. My research aims to overcome some of these challenges to enable joint analysis of very different data sources.
My general ecological interests include plant/pollinator interactions and invasive species. I have a particular fondness for Ospreys.
