Spatial Analysis and Emerging Technologies in Conservation

Module code: BIO779P

Credits: 15.0
Semester: SEM2

Contact: Dr Anne Ropiquet

The module will introduce you to new technological approaches for monitoring species, populations and individuals. You will learn about spatial analyses, including geographical information systems (GIS), as applied to studies of animal movement and habitats. As part of this, you will also look at the use of drones and GPS trackers, and will learn about technology-assisted monitoring approaches, including bioacoustics, camera trapping, environmental DNA sampling and genomics. Examples will cover animals and plants from terrestrial and aquatic systems. This elective module is taught at Queen Mary University of London.
