Dr. Peder Engelstad

 

I am a quantitative ecologist in the Vogeler Lab at Colorado State University where I work primarily on the modeling and mapping of invasive species. I am an experienced R programmer and the primary developer on the Invasive Species Habitat Tool (INHABIT), climatchR and the CSU Course Archive and Syllabus Search Tool (CASST).

My recently completed dissertation focuses on the development of new and novel methods to develop, evaluate, and interpret species distribution models. Through the lens of invasive species, this work improves our understanding of model decision-making and the biogeographic patterns underlying species distributions. The outcome of this work contributes to both the ecological modeling community and to practitioners tasked with the management of invasive species.
