data

  • sightings of particular species
  • satellite data / radar data of reflectivity
  • photos (for id)
  • but you’re relying on reports
    • better reporting in highly developed areas
  • how accurate is the id when done by amateurs?
  • what happens when something rare or desirable is reported?

patterns

  • migration patterns (depends on time of year)
    • comes from radar data
  • observations at different times of day / year / season
  • areas of high and low biodiversity

models

  • predicted range
    • probability of observation
  • build machine learning models based on photos to recognize photos
  • predict migrations patterns
