Workshops
We have run training workshops for more than 20 years, both in person and online. Our most regular workshops are on distance sampling, but we also do workshops on other topics. These have included spatial capture-recapture methods, spatial modelling methods, acoustic survey methods and general statistical modelling. We also host free online workshops.

We can also give bespoke workshops. If you would like to discuss a bespoke workshop, please email [email protected].
Online Introductory Distance Workshop
The Centre for Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling (CREEM) is delivering an online workshop ‘introduction to distance sampling’ via live web conference. This workshop, in 10 meetings over two weeks, address the fundamentals of distance sampling. We introduce the concept of a detection function, understand how to estimate probability of detection when detectability is imperfect. The fundamental principles of this method also known as conventional distance sampling, forms the foundation upon which more advanced methods are based.
