Research

I am currently working on a collaborative research project between RI DEM and URI, compiling relevant spatially explicit data available for Rhode Island’s wild birds and mammals, and developing spatially explicit models predicting the distribution and abundance of wild birds and mammals across the state, with special attention to non-urban areas owned by DEM, The Nature Conservancy, Audubon Society of Rhode Island, and land trusts.
