Theoretical Ecology

10 - 14 October 2022
This post-graduate course on Theoretical Ecology will focus on bifurcations in dynamical systems and participants will learn quantitative approaches to assess qualitative changes in biological systems that occur when conditions change.

Genome Assembly

13 - 14 October 2022
In this two day workshop you will learn about two most common long read sequencing technologies: Pacific Bioscience an Oxford Nanopore Technology. You will learn how to work with the data, perform assembly, mapping, and compare the results of both technologies.

Uncertainty Propagation in Spatial Environmental Modelling

Monday 5 - Friday 9 December 2022
The purpose of this course is to familiarize participants with statistical methods to analyse uncertainty propagation in spatial modelling, such that they can apply these methods to their own models and data. Both attribute and positional errors are considered. Attention is also given to the effects of spatial auto- and cross-correlations on the results of an uncertainty propagation analysis. Computer practicals make use of the R language for statistical computing.

Aquatic Ecology | Robustness of urban aquatic ecosystems

Sunday 2 - Friday 7 April 2023
Aquatic ecosystems play a crucial role in human health and well-being as a source of drinking water and food (irrigation, fisheries, and aquaculture), recreation, and tourism. Aquatic systems also provide diverse habitats, support high levels of biodiversity and vital ecosystems services and play a vital role in the global carbon cycle and in various nutrient cycles. In this 5-day course we will provide a multifaceted overview of the science on urban aquatic ecosystems and the means by which its robustness can be restored or even improved.
