2019 - 2022
Research Assistant
University of Florida (Gainesville, US)
Update the Ecospace model of the West Florida Shelf ecosystem (WFS). Perform multiple species distribution modeling approaches to assist the WFS ecosystem model. Adjust and validate the WFS ecosystem model using the spatiotemporal framework. Quantify red tide mortality in the WFS for reef species. Develop an R Shiny app to communicate estimated red tide impacts to stakeholders.
