3.00 Credits
As part of Duke University's new Center for Global Change, this course is a hands-on workshop in ecological data modeling and application to forecasting. Students will assemble in groups with complimentary expertise in ecology, statistics, and computation. Each group will develop a proposal for the semester long project. An example might be a modeling exercise on forecasting that involves prediction, uncertainty, and novel spatial algorithms. Proposals would provide motivation, set goals, and define instructional needs for their project. Faculty will review proposals, provide feedback, and then organize appropriate lectures, discussion sections, and tutorials. They will provide oversight as work progresses. Instructors: Agarwal, Clark, Lavine, Urban.
