Summer A 2017 - WIS 6934 Next Generation Data Management in Movement Ecology (2 credits) Taught May 8-12 @ UF/IFAS Fort Lauderdale REC, Davie, FL
Instructor/Contact Dr. Mathieu Basille (basille@ufl.edu)
Recent technological progress has allowed ecologists to obtain a huge amount and diversity of animal movement data sets of increasing spatial and temporal resolution and size, together with complex associated information related to the environmental context, such as habitat types based on remote sensing, population density, and weather. Based on several years of experiences on multiple species, this intensive five-day workshop is designed to teach participants how to handle, manage, store and retrieve movement data in a spatial database, and how to eventually feed them to analysis tools.
