ARSET – Introduction to the Integration of Animal Tracking and Remote Sensing

Participants will learn how to integrate telemetry and remote sensing data by applying a basic data standardization process to animal tracking data, visualizing the animals’ distribution via home ranges with utilization distributions, downloading remote sensing data, and characterizing animals’ habitats in a species distribution model to infer habitat use. We will discuss balancing tradeoffs from pairing remotely sensed data with animal tracks.
