History, 1747 Summer Street, Halifax, NS
The Urban Landscape: a Mosaic of Barriers and Refuges

Join us to hear Dr. Amy Mui, who is an Instructor in the Environmental =
Science Program at Dalhousie University, teaching courses in =
environmental analytics, environmental problem solving, GIS (geographic =
information systems) research, and runs a field school in environmental =
sampling methods. She has also taught previously at the University of =
Toronto, Seneca College, and for the City of Toronto on topics such as =
biogeography, remote sensing and urban biodiversity.=20

Amy earned her PhD from the University of Toronto conducting research =
into species at risk and their response to environmental disturbance at =
various spatial and temporal scales. Amy uses ecological modeling, =
remote sensing data and a GIS framework to predict trends in habitat and =
assess connectivity and fragmentation in urban and rural landscapes. =
Early research examined dispersal patterns of juvenile wombats in =
fragmented regions of Australia using radio-telemetry, as well as the =
effects of extreme temperatures on hatchling turtle fitness in Ontario. =
Current work utilizes machine learning algorithms to map biodiversity =
variables using satellite imagery to better manage green spaces in urban =
landscapes.

Our meetings are open to the public at no charge and refreshments are =
available during and after the talk.

Dave
