Vector Atlas Spatial Modelling Workshop, November-December 2022
November 1, 2022
We are excited to be holding the Vector Atlas Species Distribution Modelling Training Course at the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (icipe) in Nairobi, Kenya, 30 November to 2 December 2022.
The course trainers will be Vector Atlas team members, Prof. Nick Golding and Dr Gerry Ryan from the Telethon Kids Institute, and the aim is to develop research students’ ability to model spatial distributions of species from biased species occurrence data, i.e., where only occurrence data (rather than data from planned surveys) is available and where the species is more likely to be reported in, for example, more populated areas or areas with more surveillance.
The course will be focused on training with respect to the mapping of mosquito species, but the methods being explored are applicable to any species and have relevance for conservation and ecological sciences, in addition to public health.
