Readers of this blog may recall an earlier posting on Circuitscape and landscape ecology. Shortly, Circuitscape uses circuit theory to predict patterns of connectivity, movement, and gene flow among plant and animal populations in heterogeneous landscapes. Circuitscape was originally written in Java. It has since been rewritten in MATLAB® and works without modification in Star-P.
UC Santa Barbara's College of Engineering featured our work in the Spring 2008 issue of Convergence magazine. Convergence is an award winning magazine with a circulation of roughly 20,000. This article invoked interest among faculty at UCSB creating opportunities for further collaboration.
Watch this space for more updates on this exciting interdisciplinary project.
