We are initiating a project to build detailed maps of avian biodiversity across Texas. Our goal is to integrate multiple sources of information on species occurrences (bird surveys, ebird, etc.). These data will be used to conduct landscape conservation assessments and to build spatial models.
Requires attention to detail and accuracy. Ability to work with Google Maps is helpful.
Students can start immediately. This phase will probably be completed at the end of Fall 2019, however additional research opportunities will arise. Later phases may involve working with bird tracking data and with birds in the field.
Create maps of bird survey sites as reported on a website. This involved accessing descriptions of driving routes and building maps of stopping points.
