Welcome

The Geospatial Analysis and Modeling of Ecological Systems Laboratory in the Department of Biology at the University of Central Florida was developed to integrate geographical information system (GIS) and remote sensing technology with ecological modeling to simulate dynamic, spatially-explicit patterns and processes at scales ranging from molecules to individual organisms to ecosystems to landscapes. Researchers explore the spatial properties of ecological systems to better understand compositional, structural, and functional biodiversity in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine systems.
