New tools and approaches to uncertainty estimation in complex ecological models

Creator:

Brugnach, Marcela

Abstract:

This dissertation investigates the problem of uncertainty in complex ecological models. The term "complex" is used to convey both the common and scientific meanings. Increasingly, ecological models have become complex because they are more complicated; ecological models are generally multi-variate and multi-leveled in structure. Many ecological models are complex because...

Wavelet analysis : linking multi-scalar pattern detection to ecological monitoring

Creator:

Anthony, Jill Ada Marie

Abstract:

Wavelet analysis is an analytical and modeling tool for optimizing sampling efficiency and accuracy, particularly in the context of designing long-term, large-scale monitoring plans. As a pattern analysis method that accommodates and preserves non-stationarity, wavelet analysis provides novel visualization and analytical capabilities for increased insight into interactions between multi-scalar heterogeneous...
