Namibia/Botswana/Zimbabwe

Jennifer spent several weeks in Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe over the winter break. Part of this was related to a new project studying interactions between jackals in Etosha National Park.

Visiting research fellow at AIMS

I just returned from a five week research fellow visit at the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) in Perth, Western Australia. While there, I presented a two day workshop on spatial statistics and spatio-temporal analysis and developed collaborations for future research that will apply these methods to study issues such as ship strike on whales and environmental monitoring.
