About this Event

A data-driven project investigating whether presence-only bat observations can reliably predict the likelihood of roost locations across Scotland. The results were visualised as a heatmap, showing potential roost hotspots. This talk will also discuss two machine learning techniques.

The talk will take 20 minutes with 10 minutes for questions.
