Dr. Dave Lieske teaches in the Geography and Environment Dept at Mt. Allison University.  He uses (GIS) and 3D visualization to give us a "bird's eye" view of species conservation. His work explores the way these tools can be used to identify key habitats for bird species in Atlantic Canada, identify the risks facing these species, and assist in conservation planning.
