Benjamin Cretois
Background and activities
My research broadly focus on biodiversity conservation. I am interested in multiple subjects but I mainly focus on improving human-wildlife coexistence as well as filling gaps between science and policy. For these -ambitious- goals I am using a wide range of discipline, from spatial statistics and GIS to social sciences and ecology.
As a quantivative oriented person I am also involved in different courses given by the department of geography:
- GEOG 3526: GIS: Geographical Information System
- GEOG 3527: GIS Tools for Climate Change studies
- GEOG 3006: Quantitative methods
Do not hesitate to send me a mail if you have any questions related to my area of research :-)
