GIS In Ecology will be running the following introductory courses for marine
biologists in the use of GIS and Species Distribution Modelling in June and
August 2014.
1. An Introduction To Using GIS In Marine Biology, 23rd – 25th June 2014,
Glasgow, Scotland: This three day course covers the basics of how to use GIS in
marine biological research and is aimed at those who have little or no
experience in using GIS, but who wish to learn. The course is taught by Dr
Colin D. MacLeod, author of the ‘An Introduction To Using GIS In Marine
Biology’ series of books, and is taught in the type of language marine
biologists will be familiar with. It consists of a series of background and
practical sessions which will provide all the information needed to start
successfully using GIS in marine biology. Cost: £395 (£300 for students,
unwaged and those working for NGOs). More information on this course can be
found at: http://www.gisinecology.com/Training_Course_Glasgow_June_2014.htm. If
you have any questions, or wish to book a place email:
[email protected].
2. An Introduction To Species Distribution Modelling In The Marine Environment,
26th – 27th June 2014, Glasgow, Scotland: This two day course follows on from
the introductory GIS course and provides all the information required to start
using Species Distribution Modelling (SDM) in the marine environment in a
practical and biologically meaningful way. In a series of background sessions,
case studies and practical exercises, it covers how to create data layers of
species distribution, how to select and create raster data layers of
environmental variables, such as water depth, how to join information on
species distribution to environmental information, how to export data from a
GIS project for analysis in a statistical package, such as R, how to create
spatial visualisations based on a statistical model and how to validate the
spatial predictions of a model. The practical sessions work through a species
distribution modelling project based on real marine survey data from start to
finish. Cost: £295 (£200 for students, unwaged and those working for NGOs).
More information on this course can be found at:
http://www.gisinecology.com/Training_Course_SDM_June_2014.htm. If you have any
questions, or wish to book a place email: [email protected]. Note:
This course requires a basic knowledge of GIS and how to use ArcGIS GIS
software (as covered in the above introductory GIS course).
3. An Introduction To Using GIS In Marine Biology, 11th – 13th August 2014,
Glasgow, Scotland: In association with the 3rd International Marine
Conservation Congress (IMCC) in Glasgow, Scotland in August 2014, GIS In
Ecology will be running the above ‘Introduction To Using GIS In Marine Biology’
in the three days prior to the start of the conference. This allows those
attending the conference to also attend this introductory GIS course while they
are in Glasgow. For more information, email [email protected]. To book
a place, visit the IMCC website: http://www.conbio.org/mini-sites/imcc-2014.
4. An Introduction To Species Distribution Modelling In The Marine Environment,
19th – 20th August 2014, Glasgow, Scotland: In association with the 3rd
International Marine Conservation Congress (IMCC) in Glasgow, Scotland in
August 2014, GIS In Ecology will be running the above ‘Introduction To Using
Species Distribution Modelling In The Marine Environment’ in the two days
immediately after the end of the conference. This allows those attending the
conference to also attend this introductory species distribution modelling
course while they are in Glasgow. For more information, email
[email protected]. To book a place, visit the IMCC website:
http://www.conbio.org/mini-sites/imcc-2014. Note: This course requires a basic
knowledge of GIS and how to use ArcGIS GIS software (as covered in the above
introductory GIS course).
