Ecological Modeling for Marine Mammalogists<\/strong> Mark Baumgartner (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, USA) The “Ecological Modeling for Marine Mammalogists” workshop will follow on the very successful 2005 workshop “Application of GIS and Spatial-Temporal Modeling for Marine Mammal Science and Management,” and will represent the fifth Biennial workshop devoted to modeling.\u00a0 There is tremendous interest in applying statistical modeling techniques to the quantitative assessment of marine mammal distribution and habitat use, and our workshop seeks to explore both traditional and the latest methodologies.\u00a0 Our goal is to bring together practitioners that can share their experience with various approaches to ecological modeling by addressing topics ranging from collecting data, selecting the appropriate model, evaluating the model’s results, and applying those results in a management scenario.\u00a0 The workshop format will consist of formal presentations followed by extended discussions during which particular methodologies can be fully explored by all participants.\u00a0 In 2005, we introduced the Project Forum wherein students and less experienced researchers presented their projects and discussed the statistical challenges they are facing with an expert panel.\u00a0 We plan to bring this useful forum back in 2009 so that participants of all skill levels can benefit from the workshop.<\/p>\n Workshop Schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n 08:30\u00a0 Welcome \u2013 Mark Baumgartner (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, USA)<\/p>\n 08:40\u00a0 Introductory Session<\/p>\n 10:40\u00a0 Coffee break<\/p>\n 11:00\u00a0 Presence-only Session (introduction<\/a> by Mark Baumgartner, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, USA)<\/p>\n 12:30\u00a0 Lunch<\/p>\n 1:45\u00a0 Movement Session (introduction<\/a> by Kristin Laidre, University of Washington, USA)<\/p>\n 3:15\u00a0 Poster Forum (coffee\/snack break)<\/p>\n 4:30 Workshop ends<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Supplemental files<\/a> from Derek Tittensor, including relevant papers and software (Biomapper<\/a>, Maxent<\/a>, and openModeller<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 2009 Workshop Ecological Modeling for Marine Mammalogists 18th Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals: Pre-conference Workshop October 11, 2009 Qu\u00e9bec City, Canada Organizers Mark Baumgartner (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, USA) Edward Gregr (SciTech Consulting, Canada) Ellen Hines (San Francisco State University, USA) Kristin Kaschner (Albert Ludwigs University, Germany) Kristin Laidre (University of Washington,…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":50,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/baumgartner-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/105"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/baumgartner-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/baumgartner-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/baumgartner-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/baumgartner-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=105"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/baumgartner-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/105\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":107,"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/baumgartner-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/105\/revisions\/107"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/baumgartner-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/50"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/baumgartner-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
