Description: 

My research is focused on conducting a thorough habitat suitability analysis for cougars in the Northeastern United States. This involves replicating the methods of analyses conducted in other parts of the country, within the Northeast, and generating a series of my own predictive models. The results are then evaluated against historical land cover data and pseudo-cross-validated through meta-model creation.
