Geospatial Bioinformatics & Ecological Genomics — Hands-on

Connect microbiome and eDNA outputs with place. This module teaches you to plan georeferenced sampling, build covariate stacks from remote sensing and in-situ data, run spatial statistics and species distribution models (SDMs) , and generate interpretable maps for ecology, conservation, agriculture and water quality. Deliver reproducible, MIxS-compliant geo-products: diversity heatmaps, hotspot/risk layers, and stakeholder dashboards.
