SUMMARY:Geospatial Forum: Jason Roberts - Duke University
DESCRIPTION:From Software Distribution to Species Distribution: an Engineer’s Journey into Marine Spatial Ecology \n\nSpeaker: Mr. Jason Roberts\, Associate in Research\, Marine Geospatial Ecology Lab\, Duke University \n\n\n\nHosted by: Dr. DelWayne Bohnenstiehl\, Professor in the Department of Marine\, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences\, and CGA Faculty Fellow \n\n\n\nSummary: Species distribution models increasingly drive regulatory and policy decisions for the ocean by providing data needed to balance ecological and economic priorities. This trend will only accelerate as additional satellites and drones come online\, providing new modes of remote sensing and ever-expanding coverage. In this talk\, Jason will discuss his career transition from a software engineer focused on operating system development to a marine ecologist who specializes in modeling spatial distributions of marine megafauna. Jason will describe what he does\, what he’s learned on this journey so far\, and how he thinks the field will continue to develop. \nAbout the speaker: Originally a software engineer with a passion for scuba diving and other marine hobbies\, Jason left Microsoft in 2003 to pursue a full time career in marine research and conservation. At the Duke Marine Geospatial Ecology Lab since 2006\, Jason splits his time between writing software tools and conducting scientific research. Jason’s interests include facilitating progress in marine ecology and conservation by developing\, applying\, and helping others apply advanced software tools\, statistical methods\, and modeling approaches. Currently\, Jason spends most of his time developing species distribution models for the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale and other marine mammals that inhabit the western North Atlantic. \n< Link to presentation slides >
