| Barry Nickel
is Associate Director of the Institute for Geographic Information
Science (IGISc) at San Francisco State University, as well as the
current GIS certificate program coordinator. His research interests
are primarily concerned with the spatial and foraging ecology of large
vertebrates in relation to the surrounding environment, in particular
reference to marine mammals. His research agenda highlights the assessment
of scale-dependency in animal movement and reaction to prey/habitat
structure through the development of spatially explicit models. His
fieldwork integrates behavioral data from telemetry technologies with
GIS/remote sensing for habitat modeling. |
