    Course Start Date: Bayesian Statistics in Ecology (ONLINE)

    All day
    01/02/2023
     
    Center for Wildlife Studies

    Dates: Begins January 2, 2023 (instructor support begins in March)

    Bayesian methods for analyzing data are now widely used in ecology and wildlife management. The Bayesian approach involves specifying the “prior” distribution, which represents the uncertainty about the model parameters before we collect the data, and the likelihood, which represents the plausibility of different parameters values based solely on the data. These are combined via Bayes’ Rule to obtain the “posterior” distribution for the parameters, which represents the uncertainty about the parameters after we have analyzed the data. Using the Bayesian approach gives you more flexibility in the type of models that you can fit, compared to the classical frequentist approach, as the model is typically specified in the same way that you would write it down mathematically. Once you have become familiar with fitting a Bayesian model in R, you will appreciate the extra flexibility and the more intuitive way in which the results can be presented.
    You have two options when enrolling in this course:
    (1) Instructor support. Reach out to your instructor over a 1-month period to get help as you work through prerecorded lectures, problem sets, and your own personal work. You then have access to the course for an additional 2 months. Instructor support includes emailing your instructor, accessing live discussion threads, and scheduling one-on-one appointments (Zoom or phone) about course material, your research, datasets from work, etc. You MUST select this option if you want to take the course for academic credit at your home institution or you would like to work with an instructor on a dataset from school or work.

    Early bird course fee (ends December 5): $500 professional / $400 student

    Regular course fee (after December 5): $550 professional / $450 student

    (2) No instructor support. Sign up anytime over a 3-month period and learn at your own pace as you work through prerecorded lectures and problem sets. Be aware that at any time during the first month, you may upgrade to receive Instructor support.

    Early bird course fee (ends December 5): $375 professional / $275 student

    Regular course fee (after December 5): $400 professional / $300 student

    Course Opens: Geospatial Modeling with QGIS and R (ONLINE)

    All day
    01/03/2023
     
    Center for Wildlife Studies

    Dates: January 3, 2023 – February 26, 2023 (enroll anytime)

    Analyses of wildlife home range and habitat use are used in wildlife-focused disciplines to inform population and habitat management practices. The geographical space used by animals is largely driven by habitat selection, where habitat can be described by spatially explicit site factors (e.g., land cover). Geospatial modeling is the process of synthesizing geographically referenced field measurements and spatial data layers representing those site factors. In this course, we will process raw point location data, estimate home ranges, and conduct habitat assessments using raster land cover data and the open-source software applications QGIS and R.
    You have two options when enrolling in this course:
    (1)  Instructor support. Reach out to your instructor over a 1-month period to get help as you work through prerecorded lectures, problem sets, and your own personal work. You then have access to the course for an additional month with less consistent support. Instructor support includes emailing your instructor, accessing live discussion threads, and scheduling one-on-one appointments (Zoom or phone) about course material, your research, datasets from work, etc. You MUST select this option if you want to take the course for academic credit at your home institution. It is highly RECOMMENDED that you select this option if you would like to work with an instructor on a dataset from school or work.

    Early bird course fee (ends Nov 27th): $550 professional / $450 student

    Regular course fee (after Nov 27th): $600 professional / $500 student

    (2)  NO instructor support. Sign up anytime over a 2-month period and learn at your own pace as you work through prerecorded lectures and problem sets. Be aware that at any time during the first month, you may upgrade to receive Instructor support.

    Early bird course fee (ends Nov 27th): $400 professional / $300 student

    Regular course fee (after Nov 27th): $450 professional / $350 student

    Forests + Climate Learning Exchange Series

    3:00 PM-4:00 PM
    01/04/2023
     
    Society of American Foresters

    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.
