I am looking
for a partner (for my project)
I am a GIS and Remote Sensing specialist with over 6 years experience working with earth observation data, conducting spatial analysis and developing maps for ecological applications. I am extensively skilled in using the ArcGIS suite, ENVI, ERDAS Imagine, eCognition, scientific computing in R, database management, and most recently automating image analysis processes in Google Earth Engine. My most recent activities have revolved around applying machine learning techniques to improve image feature extraction using object-based techniques, as well as improving field data collection, analysis and dissemination using integrated digital tools.
Main skills- Remote sensing, Geospatial analysis, Spatial data modelling, Programming in R and IDL
Publications: Mugo, G.M.; Tiller, L.; King, L. Mapping floristic composition using Sentinel-2A and a case study evaluation of its application in elephant movement ecology in Sagalla, Kenya . 2022 “In Press.”

In response to the BiodivERsA+ joint call for research proposals on “Improved Transnational Monitoring of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Change for Science and Society” (BiodivMon), we are seeking a research Partner to collaborate with in a project that covers all three research themes. The project we are writing seeks to better understand and categorise the cross-boundary African elephant movement properties in risky environments especially with the rising cases of human-elephant conflict occassioned by the prolonged drought conditions in recent years, and work towards developing a system of categorising risk and locating risk-areas for better coordinated transnational biodiversity monitoring.
We are seeking a Partner who is eligible to submit a proposal, as well as will bring insight, viable skillset and actively collaborate with us in this endeavor.
