SDM Workshop at ISI

SDM Workshop at ISI This page is created to promote the Workshop on Species Distribution Modelling with MaxEnt,

In recent years a burgeoning number of statistical and related methods have been used with mapped biological and environmental data in order to model, or, in some way, spatially interpolate species distributions over large spatial extents. Maps of actual or potential species distributions or habitat suitability are required for many aspects of environmental research, resource management, and conse

rvation planning. These applications include biodiversity assessment, biological reserve design, habitat management and restoration, species and habitat conservation plans, population viability analysis, environmental risk assessment, invasive species management, community and ecosystem modeling, and predicting the effects of global environmental change on species and ecosystems. Lack of knowledge among students and researchers is an important constrain in developing, accessing and interpreting SDMs. With the availability of GIS data and new spatial tools, biologists can now readily obtain environmental data for thousands of localities and hundreds of species across the globe, permitting them to more rigorously explore the underlying ecological and evolutionary causes of biogeographic patterns. Therefore, a workshop on SDM will greatly benefit researchers to learn different SDM techniques and also to develop an understanding about theories and assumptions associated with SDMs. The goal of this workshop is to provide an understanding of the fundamental assumptions, theories of species distribution modelling and to present “best-practice” advice for data and model treatment.

The accommodation of the participants will be arranged at the two guest houses of Indian Statistical Institute.

Single or Double sharing basis. The room rates are available in our website.

Note: We have very limited choice of accommodating the participants in these facilities. Don't send us any choice of yours. The decision of the organizing committee of the workshop will be final.
