Titanic Data Analysis

rough draft proposes) This study investigates the potential distribution of invasive species, specifically the emerald ash borer and the hemlock woolly adelgid, within Vermont’s Niquette Bay State Park, focusing on the impact of environmental variables such as temperature and precipitation on their spread. By analyzing spatial patterns and the interaction between these invasive species and key native flora, the research aims to identify high-risk areas for invasion and assess the ecological effects on the park’s biodiversity. Utilizing data from various sources, including iNaturalist Vermont and environmental databases, and employing tools like GIS and RStudio, the study seeks to create visual aids that facilitate a deeper understanding of the ecological dynamics at play. These efforts are directed towards developing targeted conservation strategies to enhance the ecological resilience of Niquette Bay State Park and the broader Lake Champlain Basin. The study acknowledges potential limitations such as data quality and model accuracy, emphasizing the need for adaptability in conservation efforts.
