[ECOLOG-L] Course: intensive class on data-driven ecological research

[Poisot Timothée]

The Quantitative & Computational Ecology lab at Université de Montréal
is organizing the fourth edition of its intensive class in Data-driven
ecological synthesis (from Apr. 29 to May 5, 2019 at the Station de
Biologie des Laurentides). This week-long intensive class will give
early-career ecologists the tools and skills needed to interact with,
manage, clean, and analyze data in a transparent and reproducible way.
We will specifically work on leveraging open data to address new
ecological questions at large spatial and temporal scales.

Over the course of seven days, including learners-led projects to be
continued after the class, we will cover:

  good practices for data management
  good practices in scientific computing
  good practices for programming with data
  data cleaning and data analysis tools
  notions of parallel computing for data processing
  data visualization and presentation
  ensuring reproducibility of analyses

[ECOLOG-L] 4th workshop on "Trait Based Approaches to Ocean Life"

[Chris Lindemann]

Dear Colleagues:

Please save the date for the 4th workshop on “Trait Based Approaches to Ocean 
Life”, to be held 18-21 August, 2019 at Chicheley Hall, Buckinghamshire, United 
Kingdom.

The workshop brings together a broad range of ecologists and marine scientists 
to study how organism traits shape ecosystem structure, biodiversity, and 
function. The program will include a mixture of plenary talks and smaller, 
targeted discussions. Key topics for the 4th workshop include:

• the traits of non-competitive interactions (e.g. predation, symbioses, 
parasitism)
• linking bioinformatics, traits, and ecosystem function
• trait evolution and its effects on community and ecosystem dynamics
• quantifying fitness.

We are still developing the themes and program for the 2019 workshop, and 
expect that abstract submission will open on 1st March 2019. We hope that you 
will join us at Chicheley Hall.

[ECOLOG-L] MSc position in forest ecology

[Mark Vanderwel]

I seek a motivated individual for an MSc project investigating the influence of 
moisture availability on forest canopies and tree growth in Canada’s western 
interior. Water availability can have a strong bearing on forest structure, 
dynamics, and carbon balance in this region. The successful candidate will 
obtain multispectral and thermal imagery of forest canopies using an Unmanned 
Aerial Vehicle (UAV), and combine this with daily weather and soil moisture 
data to investigate how tree growth responds to short- and long-term variation 
in moisture. Field work will be conducted in Cypress Hills Interprovincial 
Park, located near the southern end of the Alberta-Saskatchewan border. The 
goal of this research is to better understand how increasing aridity under 
climate change may affect ecosystem carbon balance and the persistence of 
forest cover near the prairie-forest ecotone in western Canada.

The position will start in either May or Sept 2019 (depending on the successful 
candidate’s availability) and will be hosted at the Department of Biology at 
the University of Regina (Saskatchewan, Canada) working under the supervision 
of Dr. Mark Vanderwel (http://vanderwelforestlab.weebly.com). Applicants should 
have a BSc, a strong academic record in biology or a related field, and good 
quantitative skills. 

To apply, please send a cover letter describing research interests, a CV, 
unofficial academic transcripts, and contact information for 2 references by 
e-mail to mark.vander...@uregina.ca. Review of applications will begin on Dec 
10 and will continue until the position is filled.

International Open Workshop:
Socio-Environmental Dynamics over the Last 15,000 Years: The Creation of 
Landscapes VI

March 11-16, 2019 in Kiel, Germany
http://www.workshop-gshdl.uni-kiel.de/

*Call for papers*

*Session 11 (title):*
Social resilience to climate changes with perspectives on the past 5000 
years

*Session conveners:*
Liang Emlyn Yang, Mara Weinelt, Joana Seguin, Ingmar Unkel, Jutta 
Kneisel, Artur Ribeiro


During the past few decades, many studies have highlighted periods when 
significant climatic changes coincided with social upheavals. However, 
fewer studies have discussed periods of social stability or prosperity 
when faced with climate risks. The concept of social resilience has 
gradually become an important topic in scientific communities (e.g. 
Climatology, Geography, Socio-ecology, Geo-archaeology, Sustainability). 
It refers to the capability of a human social system to cope with 
stresses, maintain its function and evolve into a more sustainable 
society with respect to climate stresses. In fact, increasing studies 
are suggesting that societies continued to settle and develop in 
hazard-prone areas and periods.


The overall aim of this session is to understand different cases, 
manifestations, and changes of social resilience to climate impacts from 
pre-historic, historical and contemporary perspectives, from local to 
global perspectives, and from theoretical, empirical as well as 
quantitative modelling perspectives. Specifically, the session will 
discuss the following questions (but not limited to):
·     What are typical cases of social resilience to climate changes in 
past societies?
·     What are the key factors and features for a social system to be 
resilient in face of climate variation?
·     How was resilience performed in key societal sectors, e.g. 
agriculture, nomadism, livelihood, urbanization or population development?
·     How can social resilience to climate changes be quantified, 
evaluated, modeled or simulated?
·     What kind of changes and evolution of social resilience to climate 
changes could be observed?
·     What are the scope, thresholds, and tipping points of social 
resilience to climate changes?
·     What can we learn from the experience and lessons of the past 
resilient and/or “un-resilient” cases? Are these learnings up-scalable 
to explanatory theories?
·     What could be the pathways, measures, strategies and priorities 
for building social resilience in present societies?


We aim to reach a big session of around 20 presentations and propose to 
publish a Special Issue of 12-15 full papers in a scientific journal 
that captures the variety of subjects and approaches discussed in this 
session. Upon specific requests, we may consider partly covering the 
participating costs of those who submit qualified full papers.


The abstract submission deadline is _November 15, 2018_. Please go to 
the conference website http://www.workshop-gshdl.uni-kiel.de 
 to register and submit, and 
also inform the conveners about your intention of full paper submission. 
First version of full papers is due a week before the conference, i.e. 
by_ March 04, 2019_. A target journal and other issues are to be 
discussed with all participants during the workshop.


Best wishes,

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER AT STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY to study trophic interactions 
and develop ecosystem indicators of the New York Bight and Northwest Atlantic

Applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher (PR) are invited to work with an 
interdisciplinary team of biological and physical oceanographers at Stony Brook 
University, School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. We seek an enthusiastic

the broader Northwest Atlantic. The PR will be working with existing large 
datasets on oceanographic and atmospheric conditions, nutrient dynamics and 
living marine resources on the Northeast U.S. Shelf (NES) as well as with new 
data collected in the New York Bight. The main objective of this project is to 
develop an interdisciplinary, multi-trophic level ocean monitoring program in 
the New York Bight, provide information on the status of New York pelagic 
resources to managers and communicate this information to better inform 
decision making regionally and locally. The postdoc will be an integral part in 
evaluating and recommending a suite of indicators to monitor in the New York 
Bight.
