Sensitivities to Scale Through Integration of In
Situ and Satellite
Data, National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
A. Moody (PI), R. Peet (Co-I). $358,158, 8/06 to 7/09.
This grant from NASA will support
integration of plot data and remote sensing data to study
environmental determinants of plant species richness and
beta-diversity in NC, SC, and VA. Jen Costanza, Dahl Winters,
and Matt Simon are currently working on this study.

Project Website: Mapping Habitat Connectivity for
Multiple Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Species On
and Around Military Installations
The goal of this project is to develop
methods for identifying lands on and around military
bases that provide high connective value for suites
of species of management concern. The principal investigators
involved are Aaron Moody (UNC-Chapel Hill), Nick Haddad
(NC State University), Bill Morris (Duke University),
and Jeff Walters (Virginia Tech).
