DESCRIPTION:abstract:&#13\;\n&#13\;\nAnimal movement is driven by respons
 es to both social and non-social factors of the environment. Research ac
 ross species shows that animals do not make decisions based solely on pr
 esent information\, e.g.\, at time t\, but on an integrated assessment o
 f information over recent time\, e.g.\, t-1\, t-2\, etc. This raises the
  conundrum of how to relate distributions of animals (or humans) to cond
 itions of the environment since prior individual experiences\, possibly 
 to unobserved conditions\, contribute to the behaviors observed. I use a
  rich animal and environmental data set to harness and integrate the bro
 ad spectrum of behavioral research and construct a theoretical platform 
 for describing the observed distributions of species populations. My wor
 k in the aquatic\, terrestrial\, and aerial environments falls into two 
 categories\, (i) better managing civil infrastructure that impacts anima
 l movement and (ii) developing/evaluating computational abstractions of 
 environmental sensing and individual decision-making to inform the engin
 eering design of distributed systems in unbounded\, open field environme
 nts. In the aquatic realm\, I’ll share research suggesting that water ac
 celeration “shapes” the individual movement trajectories of juvenile sal
 mon near hydropower dams. Then\, I’ll discuss how I am building off this
  research to understand Sonoran Pronghorn that can interfere with milita
 ry training activities in the Arizona desert. Lastly\, I’ll discuss bird
  flocking as a biological network that can inform the design of fast\, l
 ight\, mobile\, compact\, and collapsible systems (e.g.\, geospatial sen
 sors) that are resilient to attack and can quickly hide.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n
