Barry Nickel manages the SFSU GIS research program (Institute for Geographic Information Science), coordinates the SFSU Certificate Program in GIS, and supports GIS curriculum development activities. His research interests are primarily concerned with the spatial and foraging ecology of large vertebrates in relation to the surrounding environment, in particular reference to marine mammals. His research agenda highlights the assessment of scale-dependency in animal movement and reaction to prey/habitat structure through the development of spatially explicit models. His fieldwork integrates behavioral data from telemetry technologies with GIS/remote sensing for habitat modeling.
