Greetings from SMSC!
We at the School of Conservation wanted to pass along information
about our upcoming courses. As you can see below, our Fall schedule
includes two exciting new offerings, and we’ll be conducting at least
6 different courses in a range of topics before the end of 2013. Some
courses are already posted for 2014 but many more will be posted to
our website soon, so please do continue to check there for updates.
Also, remember that a few scholarships are available on a competitive
basis for international applicants so be sure to read about this
opportunity on our website before applying to see if you are eligible
and interested to apply.
As always, visit our website (http://SMConservation.gmu.edu) or email
us at SCBItraining@xxxxxx for more details about each course, course
costs, and credits earned.
Ecology and Conservation of Migratory Birds (new!)
September 9-20, 2013
Led by the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center, this course teaches the
most current methods in the research of migratory birds including
theoretical concepts, field and laboratory methods (including
mist-netting, banding, tissue sampling, stable isotope geochemistry,
geolocators and radio telemetry), data analysis (including
mark-recapture statistics) and applied conservation strategies.
Spatial Ecology, Geospatial Analysis & Remote Sensing
September 30-October 11, 2013
Learn to use GIS tools to address conservation research problems,
quantifying effects of human-induced global changes on wildlife and
biodiversity. Hands-on lab exercises (e.g. land cover mapping; home
range analysis; modeling habitat selection; mapping species
distributions) use remote sensing data and SCBI field surveys to
monitor global changes, assess impacts on wildlife, and develop
mitigating strategies.
Conservation Breeding Centers for Wildlife Sustainability (new!)
October 7-14, 2013
This course is designed to teach the philosophies, practices,
logistics and management associated with ‘conservation breeding’,
including what makes breeding centers unique and effective. The most
significant of these centers in the US have formed a consortium called
the Conservation Centers for Species Survival (C2S2), and experts from
member institutions, including the SCBI, The Wilds and others, will
share the details of the specialized C2S2 expertise and facilities
that manage, study and reproduce wild animals on a sufficient scale to
create demographically and genetically stable populations.
Additional Upcoming Courses:
Applied Climate Change: Gaining practical skills for climate change
adaptation (Oct. 21-Nov. 1, 2013)
· Effective Conservation Leadership (Oct. 28-Nov. 1, 2013)
· Collaboration and Conflict Resolution Skills Training: Water
Quality Issues (Nov. 5-8, 2013) - new course!
· Species Monitoring & Conservation: Terrestrial Mammals (April
28-May 9, 2014)
