Landscape Ecology, Informatics, and AI (LEIA) Lab

At the LEIA Lab (Landscape Ecology, Informatics & AI), we explore how landscapes, ecosystems, and people are interconnected in a rapidly changing world.

 

By integrating landscape ecology, artificial intelligence, and spatial informatics, we investigate environmental change, forecast its impacts on biodiversity and human wellbeing, and develop solutions that promote sustainability. Working from the molecular to the global scale, we apply cutting-edge tools and draw on ecological and social data to generate actionable insights for conservation, resilience, and coexistence.

​

The LEIA Lab is based at the University of Florida in the Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation. Through global collaborations and open-source innovation, we bring together science, technology, and society to chart new pathways toward sustainable futures for both people and nature.
