Quantitative analysis of ecological data (June 26-27, 2017), University of Guyana, Turkeyen Campus
Effective management of ecosystem services requires natural resource professionals to assess questions related to “how many, how much, where, when, and why”. This five day course will train graduate and undergraduate students in forestry, biology and environmental sciences in quantitative methods relevant for the analysis of ecological data. At the end of the course, participants will be able to analyze real datasets and communicate results in a format that conforms to scientific standards. Registration.
Course Instructors:
Mr. Anand Roopsind (aroopsind@gmail.com). PhD Candidate, Department of Biology, University of Florida
Dr. Trevor Caughlin (trevor.caughlin@gmail.com). Postdoctoral Fellow, School of Forest Resources and Conservation, University of Florida

Field research methods (July 2-12, 2017), University of Guyana, Turkeyen Campus
This course focuses on strengthening skills for the design and evaluation of field studies and the collection, analysis, and communication of scientific data and information. It has a strong emphasis on training participants in hypothesis formulation, use of correct data collection methods and analytical techniques, and scientific writing for natural resource management and conservation. At the very least, all participants will come away with an improved sense of what constitutes good science and an improved ability to design field research projects that closely match research objectives. Registration.
