The Integrative Ecology lab at Université de Sherbrooke is organizing a week-long summer school in biodiversity modelling (credit can be awarded for this course through Université de Sherbrooke). The teacher for this course will be Dominique Gravel, F. Guillaume Blanchet and Mathew Talluto.
The topic covered during the summer school will be: • climate and resource selection models; • spatial models and land use change models; • species and joint species distribution models; • network dynamics, extinctions and ecosystem use models; • tools for decision-making. The course syllabus is available at https://ielab.recherche.usherbrooke.ca/schools/. Since the number of places are limited for this course, we require that a motivation letter be sent to ecole.biolo...@usherbrooke.ca prior to July 13, 2018, explaining how this course would help you in your research. Requirement: Intermediate knowledge of scientific programming. Cost: 650 $CAN. This includes housing and meals for the whole period. Where: Orford Musique, Orford, Québec, Canada. When: From August 20 to 24 2018. Maximum number of students: 20. For additional information, please contact us at ecole.biolo...@usherbrooke.ca.
