📊 Where do different hunting pressures concentrate?

These maps show the areas most susceptible to traditional, retaliatory, commercial & recreational hunting in 2023. Higher values highlight hotspots where multiple land systems and actors overlap in the same area.

What is GIS? 2.0 (Free Seminar) - On-Demand
Looking to bring a spatial dimension to your research? Join Dr Nick Bearman of University College London and Geospatial Training Solutions for a free online introduction to geographic information systems (GIS), designed for PhD students, academics, and professional researchers. Discover how GIS can help you visualize spatial data, analyze geographic patterns, and explore questions across disciplines—from ecology to urban studies. The seminar covers essential GIS concepts, spatial data sources, common software platforms, and practical strategies for integrating GIS into your research. Attend live via Zoom or revisit the recording and materials for 30 days after the seminar, with access to an expert-monitored Q&A forum during that period. An Instats certificate of completion is included. Ready to build on the foundations? Participants can also access an automatic 10% discount on Dr Bearman’s follow-on courses, QGIS: A Full Course 2.0 and GIS in R: A Full Course 2.0.

🔍 Why this matters:
Right whales are shifting north—driven by prey changes (Calanus spp.) linked to warming oceans.
✅ Validated via passive acoustic monitoring
✅ Aligns with NOAA, BOEM & Navy planning workflows

My background in #spatialEcology means I'm often thinking about how species move around, and how we can use this to plan urban areas where all residents have the opportunity to connect with nature.
🌏🪶
Birds are often a key focus in both my research and urban design practice (see superbcitywrens.com)
An egret gracefully crosses the still, reflective water at Ngurgenboro (Herdmans Lake, Perth WA). The long-necked, white bird is walking from left to right, with ripples from its passing disturbing the still water. The perfect mirror image of the bird and some vegetation on the right is highlighted by the golden evening light, with soft clouds and vegetation on the horizon adding to the peaceful nature of the scene.
