The workshops are taught by leading researchers in the field, using Distance software. ********************************************************* Workshop 1: Introduction to Distance Sampling, 10-12 September An introductory workshop focusing on standard distance sampling methods. The workshop will be a blend of theory and practice and participants will learn how to use version 4 of the program Distance. Participants will gain a solid grounding in both survey design and methods of analysis for distance sampling surveys. ********************************************************** Workshop 2: Advanced Techniques and Recent Developments in Distance Sampling, 15-17 September A workshop designed for those who are already familiar with the basics, where we will teach advanced material such as automated survey design, adaptive sampling, incorporating covariates into the detection function, methods for where g(0)<1, and spatial modelling of density. Participants will learn the more advanced features of version 4 of Distance. ********************************************************** For both workshops, participants are encouraged to bring their own data sets, and can expect to do some preliminary analyses of their data. The number of participants on both workshops is strictly limited, and for this reason we encourage you to register as soon as possible.
