Presentation description

To begin implementing solutions to mitigate the negative impacts of changing climate on the carnivore guild, such as increasing forest coverage, we need to better understand how carnivore behavior and affinity for forest cover change with climate. Utilizing data sets spanning across the contiguous United States from NOAA and SnapShot USA, I will investigate the effect of varying climatic conditions on the carnivore guild's spacio-temporal behavior in forested habitats.
