• NCTC Data Analysis IV: Bioclimatic Forecast Modeling Using R. Panama City, FL 18-23 April 2010
  This course will entail use of statistical models first introduced in DAIIA to predict new plant and animal distributions as a result of global change, including both climate and land-use impacts. It begins with discussion of overviews of land-use and climate change, and the importance defining an appropriate forecast frame. Forecast frames for several different plant and animals will be illustrated using BADEN, a structured approach requiring development of Biotic, Abiotic, and Dispersal ENvelopes. Statistical models first discussed in DAIIIA will next be evaluated using an ensemble models structure, whereby no single model form portrays future landscape, but rather output from many different model forms is averaged. This will be accomplished using the BIOMOD analytical structure, and include several variants of this process. Procedures for assessing the uncertainty of forecast models will be discussed, and will involve methods for reporting and portraying this uncertainty. The course will use the same examples from DAIIIA to ensure course continuity, but include new data structures of projected climate and land use change. (Thomas Edwards April 2010)
