Workshop 3: Density surface modelling workshop

The purpose of this workshop was to introduce methods of modelling the abundance of density of objects within a study region as a function of environmental covariates.

Third in a series of workshops describing the application of distance sampling methods to issues of wildlife population assessment. Topics ranged from fundamental development of distance sampling concepts, through advanced methods of combining mark-recapture with distance sampling methods, to newly developed methods for fitting density surface models to data derived from distance sampling.
