Training Courses ***New Course Announcement: We will be running a course titled 'An INtroduction To Using GIS In Marine Biology' in Glasgow, Scotland, from the 25th to 27th June 2013. For more information, click here.*** GIS In Ecology aims to provide both standard and custom-designed training courses on all aspects of using GIS in ecological research. These courses will start in 2012 and will be run at regular intervals at locations in and around Glasgow in the central belt of Scotland. Glasgow has great transport links and is within half a days travel by car or by fast train links from most cities in the UK. For example, it can be reached in as little as 4h 30mins from London by train. It can also be reached by direct flights from many European cities and the flight time is generally under four hours. It may be possible to arrange to run courses in other locations if there is sufficient interest and a suitable venue is available. Contact us on info@GISinEcology.com for more information if you would like to discuss the possibility of hosting a course. Training can also be provided on a one-to-one basis using our online GIS support service for those who are unable to travel to the Glasgow area to attend courses or training sessions. For more information, click here. More information on specific dates and locations will be provided here in due course. If you wish to find out more and to be kept informed, email info@GISinEcology.com. At the end of each course, all attendees will receive a certificate of attendance and completion. Each certificate is embossed with the GIS In Ecology official stamp to prevent its fraudulent reproduction. In addition, each certificate has its own unique identification number that we will record, along with your name, meaning that we can verify the authenticity of the certificates we issue (and the courses you have completed) on request. Standard Courses Offered (more will be added as we develop them): Our standard training courses are divided into two types, two or three day introductory courses for those starting out with GIS and more advanced one day GIS Skills training courses for those who already have some GIS skills and wish to expand them. Details of the introductory courses can be found below, while more information about the one day GIS skills training courses can be found by clicking here. All courses require that you bring your own laptop with the appropriate software already loaded onto it and that the software is working properly.
An Introduction To Using GIS In Terrestrial Ecology: Length: 3 days; cost: £395. This course aims to provide an introduction to using GIS in ecological research and is particularly aimed at terrestrial ecologists. As a result, all its examples and exercises will come from terrestrial ecological research. You must have a licenced copy of ArcGIS 10.1 software to attend this course. In addition, you will need to have a licence for the Spatial Analyst extension. For more information on the contents of this course, contact us on info@GISinEcology.com. Maximum number of attendees: 12. An Introduction To Using GIS In Ecological Field Studies: Length: 3 days; cost: £395. This course aims to provide information on how to incorporate GIS into field studies. It includes practical training in data collection, survey planning, using a GPS to record data for entering into a GIS as well as an introduction to creating a GIS for your data. It will involve both classroom and fieldwork as you will be outside collecting data during this course. This course is primarily aimed at providing training in collecting GIS-compatible data and using it to create a GIS, rather than providing detailed training in using a GIS to process or analyse data (this is covered in other courses). This course will be aimed at ArcGIS 10.1 users. For more information on the contents of this course, contact us on info@GISinEcology.com. Maximum number of attendees: 12. An Introduction To Using GIS In Marine Biology: Length: 3 days; cost: £395. This course aims to provide an introduction to using GIS in ecological research and is particularly aimed at marine biologists. As a result, all its examples and exercises will come from marine biological research. You must have a licenced copy of ArcGIS 10.1 software to attend this course. In addition, you will need to have a licence for the Spatial Analyst extension. For more information on the contents of this course, contact us on info@GISinEcology.com. Maximum number of attendees: 12. Click here to see when the next course will be held. An Introduction To Using GIS In Cetacean Research: Length: 2 days; cost: £295. This course aims to provide an introduction to using GIS in cetacean research. Specifically, it provides training in how to do the typical tasks required to use and analyse data derived from cetacean surveys in a GIS project. You must have a licenced copy of ArcGIS 10.1 software to attend this course. In addition, you will need to have a licence for the Spatial Analyst extension. For more information on the contents of this course, contact us on info@GISinEcology.com. Maximum number of attendees: 12. A Introduction To Species Distribution Modelling in The Marine Environment: Length: 3 days, cost £395. Species distribution modelling (also known as habitat modelling, predictive habitat modelling, ecological niche modelling, habitat suitability modelling and essential habitat modelling) is becoming increasingly widely used in marine biology. This course aims to provide an introduction to the concept and application of species distribution modelling (SDM) in the marine environment. It assumes that you have at least a basic knowledge of GIS and is not aimed at complete beginners. You must have a licenced copy of ArcGIS 10.1 software to attend this course. In addition, you will need to have a licence for the Spatial Analyst extension. For more information on the contents of this course, contact us on info@GISinEcology.com. Maximum number of attendees: 12. NOTE: This course is still being prepared and is unlikely to be run for the first time before September 2013. Customised Courses And GIS Training: We can also provide customised courses tailored to individuals requirements if you need to learn how to use GIS in specific circumstances or to do specific tasks, although these may be subject to a minimum number of attendees. Finally, we offer one-to-one and small groups training in the use of GIS in ecological research either in Glasgow or at a location of your choice as long as it is within two hours travel of Glasgow. These can either involve standard introductory training, or training in specific tasks as required. To discuss this possibility, contact us at: info@GISinEcology.com. |
