Description

RASTER-based spatial analysis to quantify multiple metrics of anthropogenic disturbance including distance to infrastructure and proportion of impervious surfaces within species-specific buffer zones.

Typical Equipment

  • RASTER grid systems
  • US Census Bureau data
  • RMBL GIS data
  • RMBL Spatial Data Platform

Output Measurements

  • distance to roads
  • distance to trails
  • proportion impervious surfaces
