DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF DISTANCE SAMPLING SURVEYS
An international workshop on line and point transect sampling

17-21 June, 1996.

To be held at the
University of St. Andrews
SCOTLAND, U.K.

====================================================================
COURSE INSTRUCTORS: Prof. Steve Buckland and Mr. David Borchers (Research Unit for Wildlife Population Assessment, University of St. Andrews) and Dr. Jeff Laake (National Marine Mammal Laboratory, Seattle, WA).

=====================================================================

INTENDED PARTICIPANTS: The workshop is intended for scientists who are carrying out population assessments of wildlife. We anticipate a mixture of marine and terrestrial mammalogists, ornithologists and fisheries biologists, plus statisticians who have an interest in the topic.
======================================================================

WORKSHOP CONTENT: The workshop will concentrate primarily on line and point transect sampling methods. Although the basic theory will be covered, the focus of the workshop will be on practical application of the methods. Line and point transects will be covered in detail in separate sessions. Field methods and survey design will be addressed.

Participants will be taught how to use the software package "DISTANCE" and are thus encouraged to bring their own data sets for partial analysis on the course. Individual tuition will be given on the analysis of these data. Informal discussion groups will be established for participants with common interests or problems.
