Biography:
Barry Nickel serves as the Director of the Center for Integrated Spatial Research at UCSC and teaches GIS at several universities in the region. For over 14 years, Barry has been applying geospatial methods to a variety of ecological and urban developments. His research interests are primarily concerned with spatial and movement ecology, in particular the spatial and foraging ecology of vertebrates in relation to heterogeneity in the environment. To address these questions he is engaged in the development of spatially explicit ecological models and the integration of statistical methods with geospatial tools.
