Hi all - I am looking for any ecological statistics/data analysis type trainings available concerning stream ecology in the northeastern United States. I am interested in courses that go beyond basic descriptive statistics and would ideally like to find something that covers multivariate analysis techniques applied to benthic macroinvertebrate data. It would be great to find something that covers relationships among measures of biological integrity, geomorphic structuring variables and environmental/anthropogenic stressors.
I found one course available through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Conservation Training Center in Shepherdstown, West Virginia that sounds up my alley (http://training.fws.gov/branchsites/CSP/Course_descriptions/CSP2321.htm ), but I have a schedule conflict that prevents me from attending the next offering of this course (July 2008) and I need to find something offered before October 2008 (otherwise my training money will disappear!). Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
