Forecasted North Atlantic Right Whale foraging habitat suitability using a bioenergetics-based approach across the species' cross-boundary foraging range for 2055 and 2075 climate scenarios
Integrated zooplankton and environmental datasets to derive two species-specific modeling datasets with 20K data points each
Built 100+ experimental prey distribution models using Tidymodels in R with 4+ ML engines such as boosted regression trees (BRTs), neural networks, and generalized linear models, achieving AUCs > 90%
Developed original visualizations in ggplot2 illustrating model projections, key habitat shifts, and model performance
First author on research paper detailing final cross-validated BRT ensemble projections, model performance, uncertainty sources, and conservation implications for Right Whale management
