SERDP Experts' Panel Symposium on Predictive Spatial Analysis of Marine Mammal Habitats
Document Actions
Duke University, under the auspices of U.S. Department of Defense Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) program, is initiating a program to develop 'Predictive Spatial Analysis of Marine Mammal Habitats'. This three-year initiative seeks to develop statistical models to delineate cetacean distributions and habitats using real-time environmental information. This tool-box will help resource managers mitigate potential impacts from military exercises and other anthropogenic impacts.
To kick-off this ambitious project, we are holding a three-day symposium to evaluate existing statistical methods applicable to predictive marine mammal habitat modeling. This meeting will bring together leading researchers with a broad range of backgrounds to discuss their habitat-modeling experiences, and to evaluate the ability of various statistical models to probabilistically determine cetacean habitats on the basis of dynamic (e.g., ocean temperature, sea surface height), and static (e.g., water depth, depth gradients) oceanographic features.
