Applied Biomathematics Workshops

        Ecological risk assessment requires use of specialized methods that can express impacts on organisms in terms of their effects at the level of the population or community.  Applied Biomathematics offers one-or two-day workshops on methods and software tools for ecological risk analysis that can predict the consequences of such impacts. These workshops can be tailored to meet your specific interests in:

• Language of risk
• Population dynamics
• Endangered species
• Spatial statistics
• Metapopulation dynamics
• Modeling indirect effects
• Uncertainty propagation

• Credibility of risk assessments
• Extrapolating bioassays to the population level
• Population viability analysis
• Cluster detection in space or time
• Estimating habitat suitability maps
• Multispecies / foodchain dynamics
• Quality assurance for Monte Carlo analyses

Fee structure: The cost for a one full-day workshop with two staff scientists from Applied Biomathematics at your site with your own audio-visual and computer equipment is $4000-5000.  The cost for two full days is $6000-7000.  The price ranges reflect the cost and time of required travel.  The number of workshop participants is limited by the capacity of your facilities.
