DISTANCE WORKSHOPS 2003
Centre for Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling
University of St Andrews
St Andrews, Scotland
The aim of these workshops is to train participants in the latest
methods for design and analysis of distance sampling surveys,
including line and point transects. The workshops are taught by
leading researchers in the field, using Distance software.
*********************************************************
Workshop 1: Introduction to Distance Sampling, 10-12 September
An introductory workshop focusing on standard distance sampling
methods. The workshop will be a blend of theory and practice and
participants will learn how to use version 4 of the program
Distance. Participants will gain a solid grounding in both
survey design and methods of analysis for distance sampling
surveys.
**********************************************************
Workshop 2: Advanced Techniques and Recent Developments in Distance
Sampling,
15-17 September
A workshop designed for those who are already familiar with the
basics, where we will teach advanced material such as automated
survey design, adaptive sampling, incorporating covariates into
the detection function, methods for where g(0)<1, and spatial
modelling of density. Participants will learn the more advanced
features of version 4 of Distance.
**********************************************************
For both workshops, participants are encouraged to bring their
own data sets, and can expect to do some preliminary analyses of
their data.
The number of participants on both workshops is strictly limited,
and for this reason we encourage you to register as soon as
possible. Information and forms can be downloaded from our web
site, www.creem.st-and.ac.uk/conferences.php
