She uses spatial data and programming to code and maintain repeatable workflows using ArcGIS and Python for numerous WCS Canda programs. Her work focusses on the spatial analysis of landscapes around critical mining projects and maintaining the Ontario Mineral Tracker database of proposed mineral exploration permits in Ontario, which provides real-time information and maps to First Nation communities and other Ontario residents. Previous projects included analysing spatial data to support the development of best-management practices for wolverine conservation.
Teri received her MSc at the University of Ottawa, studying social foraging networks in urban and rural songbirds. She then received her PhD from the University of Liverpool, where her research focussed on the spatial and social foraging patterns of seabirds. Before joining WCS Canada, she also completed a post-doctoral fellowship examining spatial and genetic networks of Canadian caribou populations as part of a collaboration between Trent University and Environment and Climate Change Canada.
