The Earth's climate and ecosystems are changing rapidly, and these changes will dramatically affect the fate of humanity. However, our scientific understanding of the changing biosphere is still very limited. In this research project, I will develop methods for statistical analysis, which ecologists can use to better predict future changes. I especially develop the Hierarchical Modelling of Species Communities to meet the challenges that are introduced by the analysis of ecological data, collected with modern technologies and artificial intelligence. I will also expand the application of this modelling framework for the preparation of spatially continuous forecasts by combining information from satellite images and species communities. My project brings tools for a better understanding of the interaction between humans and the environment.
