Master's Dissertation, CUNY Graduate Center, Data Analysis and Visualization Program
This thesis explores how data visualization can communicate biodiversity loss in ways that engage both scientific understanding and emotional response. Using the documented loss of nearly three billion North American birds as a case study, it situates visualization within the field of extinction studies and proposes “slow ecological mourning” as a framework for data storytelling about environmental change.

This article presents a case study where community science data was used in renewable energy decision-making. Using data from eBird, a widely used avian data submission tool, this article highlights how citizen-science biodiversity datasets can be transformed into accessible storytelling tools for environmental education and conservation communication.
