The Geomatics and Landscape Ecology Research Laboratory (GLEL) is a Carleton University Canadian Foundation for Innovation (CFI) laboratory founded in 2004. The focus of the GLEL is to advance habitat modelling/mapping and species conservation science through a synergistic integration of the research experience in Geomatics and Landscape Ecology of its members.

Directors:

Dr. Lenore Fahrig (Biology)
Dr. Doug King (Geography and Environmental Studies)
Dr. Kathryn Lindsay (Adjunct Research Professor, Departments of Biology, and Geography and Environmental Studies)
Dr. Scott Mitchell (Geography and Environmental Studies)

Dr. Joseph Bennett (Department of Biology and Institute of Environmental Science)
