Env-DATA – New Tools for Studying Animal Movement and Their Environment Gil Bohrer Assistant Professor for Ecological Engineering Department of Civil, Environmental & Geodetic Engineering The Ohio State University GPM Workshop

Movement is tightly linked with the environment – along the path, and the path not taken

What to do with track data?

Track annotation – linking environmental data to observed track points Albatross movement to Galapagos

Env-DATA– Environmental Data Automated Track Annotation system in MoveBank NASA Biological Monitoring, project #NNX11AP61G

Zebras at the Okavango Delta: Moving to greener pastures Botswana South Africa Okavango river delta Makgadikgadi salt pans Namibia Zimbabwe Bartlam-Brooks et al JGR 2014 (in press)

Zebras surf the green wave Consider precipitation as well L a t i t u d e ( m ) A Time dd-mm Aborted migration

Our data allowed developing a very good model of zebra movement

Zebras use rain in the dry-season habitat to predict grass growth at the destination wet-season habitat

Going global - Trans-American migration of Turkey Vulture

Breeding home-range size is affected by environment – NDVI and Temperature Northern/Southern range precluded us from testing precipitation using TRMM
