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
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.
