Introduction to spatial analysis of ecological data using R (ISPE02) FREE ACCOMMODATION AVAILABLE
Course overview:
The aim of the course is to introduce you to a spatial data processing, analysis, and visualization capabilities of the R programming language. It will teach a range of techniques using a mixture of lectures, computer exercises and case studies.
By the end of the course participants should:
1) Understand the basic concepts of spatial data analysis
2) Know R’s spatial capabilities
3) Understand how to import a range of spatial data sources into R
4) Be confident with using R’s command-line interface (CLI) for spatial data processing
5) Be able to perform a range of attribute operations (e.g. subsetting and joining), spatial operations (e.g. distance relations, topological relations), and geometry operations (e.g. clipping, aggregations)
6) Understand coordinate reference systems (CRSs), be able to decide which CRS to use, and how to reproject spatial data
7) Know how to visualize the results of a spatial analysis in the form of static and interactive maps
8) Have the confidence to apply spatial analysis skills to their own projects
Movement ecology (MOVE03)
Course Overview:
The course will cover the concepts, technology and software tools that can be used to analyse movement data (from ringing/CMR to VHF/GPS to novel biologging data) in ecology and evolution, covering analysis techniques applicable broadly to most taxa, from micro-organisms to plants and animals. We will cover elementary and advanced analysis and modelling techniques broadly applicable across taxa, highlighting the advantages of a unified Movement Ecology framework. We will provide the necessary bases in ecology (especially behavioural ecology), physics and mathematics/statistics, to be able to identify for any specific research question the most appropriate study species, logging technology (incl. attachment methods), and statistical/mathematical modelling approach. We will specifically address the challenges and opportunities at each of the steps of the proposed ‘question-driven approach’, combining hands-on sessions with new biologging technology with computer-based practicals in R and specialized software for biologging data developed by the SLAM lab at Swansea University. We will also address the challenges of applying the results of the analyses to applied management problems and communicate the findings to non-experts.
