Computational Ecology and Visualization Laboratory
Dr. Gage's program focuses on the dynamics of insect populations at regional scales and their regulation by landscape characteristics, meterological factors, disturbance factors, and natural enemies. Landscape Ecology and regional ecosystem geography are important areas of investigation. He directs the Computational Ecology and Visualization Laboratory which focuses on geographic information systems and visualization technologies. It has developed several projects that include investigation of the spatial dynamics of endemic and introduced insects at different spatial scales. A long-term project is to characterize ecological and geographical factors associated with agriculture in the North Central United States. Gage teaches principles of computational ecology in a course entitled Biological Information Systems and co-teaches two trans-disciplinary courses in Earth Systems Science.
