Environmental Modelling: Causes and Impacts of Changing Resources

Environmental Modelling: Causes and Impacts of Changing Resources

course goals

• Statistical techniques

Here the focus will be on the use of statistical regression techniques, knowledge of their underlying assumptions, and proper interpretation of the results. During the course, we use the R software environment to apply generic techniques which could be applied in any other statistical software tool.

• Environmental modelling
  A number of different environmental models will be presented, as well as specific issues related to working with these models in the context of different NRM goals related to forests, agriculture, and mixed landscapes. These models take different remote sensing and GIS-based approaches to the description of the natural world, depending on the objectives of the model. They range from simple static models to dynamic process models.
