Sam Jantz

Postdoctoral Researcher

Doctoral work incorporated time-series remote sensing data and niche-modeling methods to annually assess habitat condition for chimpanzees (P. Troglodytes) across its range in Sub-Saharan Africa providing relevant information for conservation monitoring and planning. Current work focuses on creating land-use change projections for the Appalachians with the aim of quantifying the relative impacts of climate and land-use change on biodiversity in the region.
