Field Techniques for Surveying Freshwater Macroorganisms and Their Habitats: Integrating Field Surveys, Taxonomic Skills, and Hydrochemistry

Location:
Oxford
Starts:
Monday 16 March 2015,
Ends:
Friday 20 March 2015,

Last year information was circulated regarding skills training workshops funded by the Natural Environment Research Council at the University of Oxford.

 

We are pleased to announce that following the success of the programme, the University has been awarded further funding to continue to deliver and build upon skills training at doctoral level in the environmental sciences and management.  I would be grateful if you would circulate this information to doctoral students and colleagues for whom it will be of interest – please bear in mind that these workshops were very popular last year and spaces are likely to go very quickly!

 

Attendance at each workshop is offered to eligible UK-based delegates at no cost, including full-board and accommodation in Oxford.  A limited travel allowance within the UK is also available.

 

The following workshops are available during early 2015:

 

Introduction to Multivariate Ecological Statistics: Exploring Tools for Ecologists Mon 12 Jan to Thu 15 Jan 2015 

 

Field Techniques for Surveying Freshwater Macroorganisms and Their Habitats: Integrating Field Surveys, Taxonomic Skills, and Hydrochemistry Mon 16 Mar to Fri 20 Mar 2015 

 

Introduction to Data Visualisation Mon 9 Feb to Thu 12 Feb 2015

 

Insect Taxonomy and Field Sampling Skills Mon 23 Mar to Fri 27 Mar 2015 

 

Priority booking will be given to NERC-funded doctoral students (50% or greater); if there are any spaces left after the priority booking deadline of 30 October 2014 these will be made available to other doctoral students, professionals and ECRs in the environmental sciences on a first come first served basis.
