Please feel free to post and circulate: Upcoming Graduate/Professional Training Course in Conservation GIS at the Smithsonian-Mason School of Conservation Front Royal, Virginia, USA Spatial Ecology, Geospatial Analysis & Remote Sensing for Conservation <http://smconservation.gmu.edu/programs/graduate-and-professional/professional-training-courses/mccs-0500-spatial-ecology-geospatial-analysis-and-remote-sensing-for-conservation/> *September 26-October 7, 2016* Learn to use GIS tools to address conservation research problems, quantifying effects of human-induced global changes on wildlife and biodiversity. Hands-on lab exercises (e.g. land cover mapping; home range analysis; modeling habitat selection; mapping species distributions) use remote sensing data and SCBI field surveys to monitor global changes, assess impacts on wildlife, and develop mitigating strategies.
