The Spatial Biology Lab analyses biological spatial patterns through multidisciplinary and multi-scale approaches, from global to local scale. The SBLab applies Geographical Information Systems, Remote Sensing data and techniques, Ecological Niche Models, and Spatial Statistics in ecology and nature conservation.

The main areas of research are: 

• Earth Observation

• Biodiversity monitoring

• Biodiversity modelling

• Spatial ecology

• Biogeography

• Applied conservation

Our mission is to contribute to the conservation of the planet Earth and its biodiversity.
