GEOMETRIC MORPHOMETRICS WORKSHOP IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY AMES, IOWA, USA
May 29 June 2, 2006 An NSF-sponsored Morphometrics workshop will be held at Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa, USA from May 29 to June 2, 2006. The instructors will be: Dean C.

This is a 1-week workshop which provides a comprehensive introduction to both the theory and methods for the analysis of biological shape. Emphasis is on understanding the theoretical background of the field, as well as the practical mechanics of both landmark and outline methods for shape analysis. The main objective of the workshop is to provide students with sufficient knowledge of these approaches that they will be able to effectively and correctly apply them to their own research programs. The workshop is limited to 20 participants who will be provided with travel grants that include room and board during the workshop.Applications must be received by OCTOBER 1, 2005 to receive full consideration.
