HaniMob 2022 Workshop Report: The 2nd ACM SIGSPATIAL Workshop on Animal Movement Ecology and Human Mobility

Abstract

The study of animal and human movement has experienced a remarkable boom over the last decades, mainly due to the continuous development of location-aware sensors (e.g. bio-logging devices for animals; GPS trackers for humans) capable of capturing individual locations at a constantly increasing spatio-temporal resolution [7, 2]. Anthropogenic pressure plays a critical role in shaping animal movement and behavior. Similarly, human movement behavior can largely be influenced by disruptive environmental events causing people to shift their mobility patterns, which eventually may impact wildlife activity patterns in areas where wildlife intersects with human presence.
