Welcome! I'm Maggie Swift, a postdoctoral researcher at the Cornell K. Lisa Yang Center for Wildlife Health in Ithaca, NY. I use GPS tracking and satellite data to understand how animals respond to a changing planet. My research interests include animal movements, savanna ecology, One Health, and computational approaches to wildlife management and conservation. In my postdoctoral research with Dr. Steve Osofsky at Cornell's AHEAD program and Dr. Robin Naidoo at the WWF, I simulate African bush elephant movements in the Kavango-Zambezi TFCA. Check out my recorded talks on wildlife conservation for more of my past work. Outside work, I write short fiction; knit; play guitar; travel with friends; and update my blog. As a resident of lands stolen from the Gayogohó:nǫˀ Nation by New York State, I also strive to decolonize my science. I am happiest snapping photos in the African bush or knee-deep in Cascadilla Creek, stalking my subjects like a heron. |
