Hello all, Id like to announce an upcoming short course in pollen analysis, to be offered at the University of Maine this coming June, offered by the Climate Change Institute and PalEON. The course is designed to be suitable for a broad range of applications, from modern analyses to paleoecological reconstructions. We will also include professional development mini-courses in the evening on social media, open data, R, GitHub, and related topics.
The course is open to anyone: undergraduates, grad students, researchers, faculty, etc. We are in the process of applying for funds to support international travel. For more details, you can check my website: http://jacquelyngill.wordpress.com/2014/02/11/announcement-pollen-analysis-short-course/ Come for the pollen, stay for our beautiful wilderness and oceans (were just an hour from Acadia National Park!). If you have questions, please dont hesitate to contact me. Feel free to print out a flier (a pdf can be downloaded at the website) and share it with your students and colleagues. Space is limited! It is our hope that, pending interest, we can offer this course every other year. Regards, Jacquelyn Gill (University of Maine) Andrea Nurse (University of Maine) Simon Goring (University of Wisconsin)
