Advance your analytical toolkit for marine mammal ecology with our course *Stable Isotope Mixing Models Using SIBER, SIAR & MixSIAR (SIMM12)* — available live online *and* as a recorded option.
Stable isotope mixing models are essential for quantifying dietary contributions, movement ecology, trophic interactions, and habitat use. This course teaches practical implementation in R using three widely used packages, with workflows applicable to marine mammal datasets such as fatty acid or isotopic data from tissues, breath, or baleen. *What the course offers* - Hands-on implementation of mixing models in R - Understanding model assumptions and uncertainty - Comparing approaches across SIBER, SIAR, and MixSIAR - Ecological interpretation of source contributions - Workflows suited to marine mammal dietary and trophic studies *Why choose live or recorded?* *Live online* - Interactive sessions with the instructor - Q&A tailored to your data and research questions - Structured schedule helps momentum and focus - Peer insights during discussions *Recorded option* - Learn at your own pace with full access to all lectures - Ideal for balancing research, fieldwork, or time zones - Pause, repeat, and revisit key concepts *Course details* Dates: 27-30 April 2026 Duration: 4 days (approximately 7 hours per day) Format: Live online (with recorded access afterward) Fee: £480 This course is ideal for marine mammal researchers working on diet, trophic ecology, movement ecology, or habitat use who want to understand and apply isotope mixing models with confidence.
