DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF
DISTANCE SAMPLING SURVEYS

Workshop 1: June 14-17
Workshop 2: June 21-24
Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
Overview
--------
Distance sampling is the most widely used method for estimating the
abundance of wildlife populations. 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 two
identical 4-day workshops will be a blend of theory and practice, and
participants will learn the new, windows version of the software Distance.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own data sets, and can expect to
do some preliminary analyses with their data. In the latter part of each
workshop, time is set aside for presentation of more advanced concepts
and discussion of topics of common interest in smaller, informal groups.
