A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Dr. Grant Humphries is an ecological data scientist having worked on a number of marine and terrestrial projects (mostly seabirds) around the world where machine learning tools were critical to solving complex problems. He has over a decade of experience working with machine learning tools and techniques and loves applying them in novel and interesting ways. He is the founder of Black Bawks Data Science Ltd., a small data science company based in the highlands of Scotland, where he works on building interactive, web-based decision support tools that integrate advanced modeling. He is also a penguin counter, traveling to Antarctica every year to collect data for the Antarctic Site Inventory. His spare time is dedicated to music, cooking and spending time with his two daughters: Dylan and River, and his wife, Alex.

Dr. Dawn Magness is a landscape ecologist interested in climate change adaptation, landscape planning, ecological services, and spatial modeling. She earned her M.S.in Fish and Wildlife Science at Texas A & M University and her Ph.D. in the interdisciplinary Resilience and Adaptation Program at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. Her current projects use multiple methods to assess ecosystem vulnerability to inform strategic adaptation planning. She has conducted research on songbirds, flying squirrels, and American marten.

Dr. Falk Huettmann is a 'digital naturalist' linking computing and the internet with natural history research for global conservation and sustainability. He is a professor of Wildlife Ecology in the Biology & Wildlife Department and Institute of Arctic Biology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) where he and many international students run the EWHALE lab. In his lab he studies biodiversity, land- and sea-scapes, the atmosphere, global governance, ecological economics, diseases and new approaches to global sustainability on a pixel-scale. Most of his 200 publications and 7 books are centered on Open Accessand Open Source science, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), data mining and machine learning.
