Science training

BOOK YOUR PLACE ON THE FIRST TRAINING EVENT HERE.....

Over the next five years (2011-2015), a range of BAP science training events and workshops will be held at different venues in the Wessex area. These will be free for LBAP partner organisations. The nature of the courses and the order in which they occur will be determined by a ‘needs assessment’ currently underway (to be completed by March 2011). The bespoke courses will deliver training on those subjects deemed to be of greatest utility to the LBAP partnership. It is likely that the courses and workshops will include some of the following subjects, although the final list will be published at the end of the needs assessment phase of the project:

•  Core statistical techniques and analysis


•  Developing and using databases for storing and managing field data


•  The use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS), including satellite imagery


•  Design of species & habitat monitoring programmes (site and landscape scale approaches)


•  Design of behavioural and autecological studies


•  Analysis and interpretation of long-term monitoring data


•  Analysis and interpretation of survey and census data


•  Best practice in science project management and supervision


•  Assessing ecosystem services & functions


•  Identifying and removing barriers to delivering BAP research & monitoring targets


•  Publishing in scientific journals
