Dear Tropical Montane Forest Ecology (TMCF) Researchers, I am emailing on behalf of the NSF-supported Research Coordination Network CloudNet to announce a course in May 2017 on advanced data analysis techniques using Maximum Likelihood and Information Theory, taught by Dr. Charles Canham (http://www.sortie-nd.org/lme/lme.html) with me in support.
If you conduct ecological research in TMCFs, you have the opportunity to attend this course. The course usually costs ~$900 per person plus housing, but the CloudNet is covering the costs, so participation is free for TMCF-affiliated researchers and labs. Housing and food also will be covered by CloudNet free of charge. The course will be small and is already partially full, with space for an additional ~8-10 participants remaining. ***Please Note***: participants will have to pay for their own travel to and from Denver including airfare and ground transportation, but the RCN will provide free ground transportation once in Colorado. The course is 5 days in class and a 6th day to travel on the Sunday before the course starts. The course will end on midday on the following Friday so return travel can occur that day. DATES: Arrive before 5 PM on Sunday MAY 28th, 2017 - Depart after 2 PM on Friday June 2nd, 2017 *Flights will be in and out of Denver, CO. LOCATION: Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO HOUSING: Rooms in recently refurbished dormitories on campus. Double rooms will be shared by 2 participants. *If a private room is needed, we can arrange for one, but the participant will have to cover a $12.75/day surcharge for this. Please let me know as soon as possible if you or someone from your lab plans to attend. For those interested, I will send a registration document.
