Research Interests:

 

• Use of spatially adaptive smoothing (SALSA methods) and geodesic distance (CReSS method) for modelling species distributions.

• Of particular interest is developing methods for environmental impact assessment and site characterisation.

  • Spatially adaptive smoothing (SALSA methods)

  • Correlated data (GEEs)

  • Areas of complex topography (two dimensional smoothing using geodesic distances) (CReSS method)

  • Spatially explicit power analysis

• R-package development:

  • to allow use of methods (see MRSea page)

  • for spatially explicit power analysis (see MRSeaPower page)

• PhD: Predicting the distribution of marine organisms in spatially complex regions.
