April’s Chestnut Chat covered Habitat Modeling for American chestnut. Jennifer Santoro, a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Geography and the Environment at Villanova University, and Alec Henderson, a senior at Villanova University with a major in Environmental Science and a minor in Computer Science led this discussion. Together they described their research for modeling and mapping suitable chestnut habitat in Pennsylvania and showed how analyses like this can be useful for chestnut restoration efforts. Jen and Alec also discussed research to model and map suitable chestnut habitat in Pennsylvania and show how analyses like this can be useful for chestnut restoration efforts.
