The Spring 2025 Biology Seminar Series continues with a talk from Dr. Charlotte Chang, "Using text analysis and machine learning to conserve global biodiversity."
Charlotte Chang’s research focuses on social-ecological systems to improve conservation science and practice. Research in the Chang lab examines how different stakeholders interact with the environment, ranging from digital conservation constituencies in different countries to illicit wildlife hunting to managing agroforests to better support habitat specialist taxa. Projects in the lab focus on work with local community leaders, environmental practitioners, and academic colleagues to advance conservation research and application. The Chang lab combines data science, quantitative ecology and field methods for coupled human-natural systems.
