Online training workshop: camera trap distance sampling, 23-27 October 2023.

https://workshops.distancesampling.org/ctds-oct-2023

Several methods exist for analysis of camera trap data to estimate
animal abundance. Use of distance sampling theory for analysis of camera
trap data does not require identification of individual animals to
estimate abundance, making it applicable to a much larger set of
species. This live online workshop, through lectures and computer
exercises, provides training in survey design and the analysis of camera
trap data to produce abundance estimates. The workshop lasts 4 days,
but is delivered over a 5-day period (23-27 October) to allow time for
self-study.

The workshop is organized by the Centre for Research into Ecological and
Environmental Modelling (CREEM) at the University of St Andrews.
Instructors are:

Eric Howe, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry,
Samantha Strindberg, Wildlife Conservation Society,
Len Thomas, CREEM, University of St Andrews,
Steve Buckland, CREEM, University of St Andrews and
Noemie Cappelle, Wild Chimpanzee Foundation

Registration is UK£330 and the registration deadline is 6th October
2023. There is one free place available as part of our widening
participation scholarship programme (deadline for applications 4th
September) - see the web site below.

For more details and to register, please see the workshop web site
https://workshops.distancesampling.org/ctds-oct-2023

We also teach other workshops on distance sampling-related topics - for
more information please see https://workshops.distancesampling.org/
Currently, one workshops open for registration is
- Introduction to distance sampling (an ideal precursor to the camera
trap workshop) 9-20 October 2023, registration deadline 22 September.
