Research interests

The overarching question addressed by Dan's research is: How can point observations of animals be used to estimate the geographic range of the species? This question becomes particularly challenging when applied to a highly mobile, migratory and endangered species, such as the North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis). Dan pairs the time and location of right whale presence records with near realtime environmental data to estimate potential geographic range of these animals. Dan is generally interested in developing and applying field and computational methods to estimate the range of endangered species. He has a strong interest in applying these techniques in Earth's polar regions. Details can be found at his website or at SEASCAPE.
