Follow @PredictiveEcol as we discover the #science, complexities, and #computation involved in forecasting #ecological #landscapes. We developed the #SpaDES platform in #R for open & reproducible models. Our goal: integrate ecological data for resource management decisions.

The line-up for panelists looks like a great mix https://t.co/Q45Bexdl8k @PredictiveEcol #halfearthday2023

I've made it to Montreal for my panel discussion about Extreme weather, wildfires, biodiversity and people at the #halfearthday2023 #geobonconf2023. Thanks to @EOWilsonFndtn for the invitation! I'll be talking about @PredictiveEcol. #linkinginformationtoaction #halfearthproject

Our latest paper just hit the web! This one is about how we have used SpaDES to build in seamless validation for complex models. We witnessed Occam's Razor in action -- simpler is better, but only when we need simple outputs! @PFC_CFS @CeresBarros https://t.co/9Ion4Q9rFQ

This summer course next year will have a great crew of people and is an exciting topic

Interested in forecasting? Want to learn more about using them for decision-making? Come check out our session at #ESA2022 / #CSEE2022 "A comparative perspective on integrating ecological forecasting with decision-making" at 8:00am in Rm 520C.

Want a PERFICT ( https://t.co/VvjxUs7nxV) way to start your day tomorrow? Come check out our talks about bringing ecological forecasting to caribou range planning as well as whole #CEFI/#EFI session #CSEE2022 #ESA2022 @PredictiveEcol

We are updating our web app to include results of spatial 🦌🐦🐤🌲🌳🔥 forecasts across the Western Boreal, not just the Northwest Territories: https://t.co/LVufRCpMpZ Do you have any suggestions for improvement? Check it out. We'd love to hear your thoughts. #OpenScience

Last week, @eliotmcintire provided an invited Keynote Talk to the North American Forest Ecology Workshop ( https://t.co/NihmfAbJ44). Thank for the invitation #NAFEW, and all the great talks. 🌳🌲

Come join our group of researchers, with a fantastic supervisor (@alexchubaty)! #OpenScience #R #SpatialData

The North American Forest Ecology Workshop is next week - keep your eyes posted for a KEYNOTE talk from one of the @PredictiveEcol members! Hint: It is a lead, and 🌟 PI

WELL, the @eco4cast conference is wrapping up today, and our @eliotmcintire and @CeresBarros were able to attend! Chatting about #SpaDES & a PERFICT approach to Predictive Ecology. Paper: https://t.co/FawZKmz4ZX SpaDES on CRAN: https://t.co/aDOyj6ptPe

Check out @StewartResearch's presentation to the Caribou Ecology and Recovery Webinar series next week: Forecasting climate-sensitive landscape change and boreal caribou in #SpaDES. May 24th 12 noon MDT Free Register here: https://t.co/yfo6J3BF43

(final, I swear!/n) Thank you to everyone and the diverse individuals involved in this to date. Get in touch if you'd like to receive our monthly newsletter, or get more involved! Pls RT and share widely. #OpenScience

All of this is starting to be available through an "evergreen" web app where you can look at results with and without climate change. Please do check it out, and let us know what think! https://t.co/LVufRCHnOz

BUT: What about forest harvesting? What about carbon? How does this affect all of the above? Well, we are modelling that too using an open source forest harvest model and forest carbon model #CBMCFS3! (led by G. Paradis and @cboisvenue)

Key question: What are some hotspots for protected area prioritization today, and in future, when considering climate change? Helping to inform the #IUCN's targets of 30% protection by 2030!

(continued/n) The clincher: BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER for multi-species lands planning! Some key questions are: Are #caribou a good umbrella species for lands planning today, and in future?

(I've lost count/n) Our #BorealCaribou forecasts involve a few approaches, with preliminary - not yet published - results available for range planning:

Avian species forecasts include both boreal #waterfowl & #landbirds🦆🐦 We have produced spatially explicit forecasts of species-specific changes in abundance and density - and also include the uncertainty around these forecasts. Which species increase depends on where you are.
