ESA Professional Development Calendar

EFI and the ESA Statistical Ecology Section are hosting this virtual seminar series that demonstrates a variety of quantitative methods applied within Ecology and Environmental Science in the R programming language. Attendees will gain valuable insight into methods that they may or may not be familiar with from experts on a given topic.

Applications are open for Yale University’s Tropical Forest Landscapes: Conservation, Restoration and Sustainable Use online certificate program. This interdisciplinary program explores tropical land management through diverse perspectives in a dynamic online experience. Courses teach core concepts, highlight exciting global case studies, and illustrate practical tools to understand and manage complex social, ecological and economic aspects of effective conservation and restoration initiatives. What is the program like? What do participants do in a typical week? What is the Capstone project? How can participants get ESA CEUs? Get answers all of these questions and more!

The 2022-2023 Forests + Climate Learning Exchange Series (LES), co-hosted by the Forest Carbon and Climate Program (FCCP) and the Society of American Foresters (SAF), invites academics, practitioners, policymakers, and other experts to present innovative and important research, projects, and strategies relating to forest carbon. The series aims to develop and expand forest stakeholder knowledge and perspectives on forest carbon science, management, and strategy.

The events take place the first Wednesday of each month at 3 pm Eastern. Recordings will be posted below following the event.

Applications for our 2023-2024 Tropical Forest Landscapes: Conservation, Restoration & Sustainable Use online certificate program are now open!
