The Centre for Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling (CREEM) is delivering an online workshop 'Practical design and simulation to optimise distance sampling surveys' via live web conference. This workshop is 3 days in length with 1 day gap for self study. Good survey design is critical for obtaining reliable results in distance sampling surveys and meeting survey objectives. This workshop expands on the basic theory provided in our introductory workshops to demonstrate how our latest software can be used to generate optimal survey designs while respecting budgetary and logistical constraints.
