FILAMO: Field, Laboratory and Modelling techniques for Movement Ecology

Description

This workshop will bring together experts in observing and tracking marine organisms, statisticians skilled at analyzing spatial data and modelers with experience in developing and using models to project likely responses of organisms to varying environments. The workshop will comprise a mixture of lectures and hands-on practical sessions, including introductions to (stochastic) agent-based models using Netlogo and the Ichthyops software; tutorials in data analysis for modeling animal movement; and actual field observations (field trip). Participants are expected to participate in a group exercise to develop and apply an Individual-Based-Model and to prepare a poster presenting their own work. Upon completion, participants receive a course diploma with a recommended 2 ECTS.
