There has been a change to the catering arrangements offered by the RBGE
and
registration for this meeting is no longer appropriate. Those attending
the meeting
will have access to the staff catering facilities on the site but will
have to pay for
food themselves.
Therefore, THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT TO REGISTER and those who have
registered
will have the registration fee refunded. If anyone has decided to
attend but has not
registered, it would be helpful to let me know by e-mail to

RSS/Environmental Statistics Study Group meeting
Ordination Techniques in Environmental Science
Thursday October 9, 2003, 10:30
Royal Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh
Meeting ends 4:00pm
Major advances have been made in the last 15 years in the theory
and application of ordination techniques in environmental biology.
Speakers:
John Birks (Botanical Institute, University of Bergen)
will review progress in several areas, including canonical
or constrained techniques for multivariate direct gradient analysis
and statistical analysis of multivariate data, and discuss some of
the pitfalls that can arise in the interpretation of ordination
results.
Robin Pakeman (Macauley Institute, Aberdeen)
will then present some case studies in the use of ordination
techniques
showing the value of these approaches in plant ecology studies.
James Currall (Information Service, University of Glasgow)
will consider the application of ordination techniques to a data set
with comparisons to alternative statisitical analyses.
