Landscape Ecologist
Characterizing patterns of land use and land cover across the landscape is vital for understanding how human activities affect ecological phenomena such as animal movements, plant distributions, and resource availability. Landscape ecologists are professionals who combine knowledge of state-of-the-art geospatial analysis tools (such as GIS, GPS, and remote sensing) with a fundamental understanding of ecological processes. Landscape ecologists are increasingly in demand across a wide array of private and public employers (such as planning agencies) who need to understand how current and future land use affect ecosystem sustainability and health.
