- Abstract:
- The course will run over two sessions, each of 4 days duration, divided into a number of themed modules. The format for each session will be the same and it is proposed to run the two sessions approximately 6 months apart. Participants will be expected to register for both sessions.For each themed module, there will be an expository lecture on the statistical methodology followed by a series of case studies covering more advanced material and the opportunity to discuss and apply the techniques introduced in the master classes. The statistical modules in the course will focus on general modern statistical methods,spatial modelling with time and dealing with environmental processes. The course will specifically include examples and a number of case studies (including detection and quantification of climate change, modelling and predicting environmental extremes, and assessing health-related impacts of environmental pollutants) and a series of master classes targeted at the analysis of participants' environmental problems. Because of the intensive nature of these training events, we anticipate that lecturers will be involved in all activities throughout the week. The main target audience for this course will be environmental scientists at postgraduate (second or third year) or postdoctoral level (in Earth Science, Biological and Life Sciences, Geography) who are statistically numerate but not expert. The course will give a detailed overview of modern statistical methods along with critical discussion of their potential application to environmental problems.
