Presentation: Using GIS to Automate Distribution Models for New World Trees
The following is a link to a PowerPoint Show (*.ppsx) file
containing the slides from my presentation [PPSX, 7.6Mb] at the 2011 esri User
Conference in San Diego.
The
conference abstract is also below:
This presentation will show how ArcGIS Modelbuilder, Python and
the geoprocessing environment were instrumental in automating the
data processing and analysis workflows for a project to create over
200,000 temperate and tropical plant species distribution models
from the largest single-database of species occurrence records
spanning the entire New World. The modeling results are helping
define the spatial distributions of some tree species that were not
previously understood, identify potential ICUN red-list candidates
for species with critically small spatial distributions, and better
understand how climate and climate change influence species range
sizes, abundance, and extinction risk. This presentation will also
discuss future data dissemination plans, and how practitioners can
overcome the problems associated with combining multiple datasets of
spatially referenced ecological data so that the science and
conservation communities can effectively combine datasets to help
analyze ecological patterns at large spatial scales and understand
how species may respond to climate change.
Poster: Does the climatic variability hypothesis explain the longitudinal range size gradient in North American trees?

White Paper: Ethical Considerations for a Vendor/Consultants
While obtaining a Masters of Business Administration from the University of
Redlands, John Donoghue received an award from the University’s Banta Center for
Business, Ethics and Society for his submission, "Ethical Considerations for a
Vendor/Consultant" [PDF, 41Kb]. In his submission he explored the conflicts of
interest faced by IT vendors who simultaneously work for firms that hold
consulting contracts with their customers. John graduated from the University’s
Masters of Business Administration program in 2006.
