Summary:
This course covers the use of co-occurrence analysis, both simple and weighted, for compositing a variety of data layers to make important natural resource and societal decisions.
This workshop will also cover a variety of techniques for mapping and analyzing habitat types, including the Landscape Fragmentation tool developed at University of Connecticut and the Habitat Priority Planner developed by the NOAA Coastal Services Center.
A wide variety of GIS data layers will be used in the analyses, but we will focus on land cover, conservation lands, conservation priority areas and the NH Wildlife Action Plan.
General topics:
simple co-occurrence analysis
weighted co-occurrence analytics
habitat fragmentation
habitat prioritization
Participants will learn to:
use raster calculator to conduct simple co-occurrence analyses
conduct weighted co-occurrence analyses
make decisions about choosing layers and setting weighting factors
determine fragmentation patterns of habitats or land cover types
prioritize areas based on internal and external features
use NH Wildlife Action plan data in spatial analyses
