Wildlife Movement and Migration under Global Change Scenarios

Credits: 3 Fall 2024: Time and location TBA

Land use and climate change are major threats to biodiversity globally. As such, wildlife must navigate these emergent pressures across spatial scales that influence their movement patterns. This course will investigate methods to study wildlife movement as well as the movement strategies animals currently use and explore potential adaptations under future scenarios. Through a flipped and interactive classroom, students will evaluate and model drivers of animal movement across different spatial and temporal scales as well as draw connections to human societies and landscape histories.
