bce15ba provides an initial draft of this, for review by @jjrob and @erex. Please free to add/remove content, flesh out sections etc.

Other notes:

@erex note I added "and NOAA" since it would not be appropriate to not include the large amount of work Jeff did on mrds before I took it over.
regarding a course name, I am not good at generating names, please suggest whatever you think would sound snappy
on that note, I included "species distribution model" as one of the titles, it may be worth including this is in description (and maybe "environmental/ecological niche model") as this seems to be the buzzword.

@jjrob would you be able to flesh out anything on https://github.com/DistanceDevelopment/spatial-workshops/blob/master/DEL_webpage_info.md with any additional information regarding MGET?

In particular, can you add:

"High level" bullet points for the day programmes
Any thoughts on course title

If it's all okay, I'll then send this off to Allison.

I suggest we fill in the URL blanks with distancesampling.org/dukespatialworkshop2015 and then forward that address to wherever we need when the time comes (I'll put together a placeholder page for now).

jjrob commented 9 years ago

Done

dill commented 9 years ago

Thanks for this @jjrob, I've merged in some other changes, added the URLs for papers and the workshop webpage (for now http://distancesampling.org/workshops/duke-spatial-2015.

Course title:

I agree, perhaps including R/ArcGIS in the title is a selling point. Is:

Spatial models for distance sampling data using R and ArcGIS

too wordy (any thoughts @erex ?)

Discussion of participants' own projects:

I think it's best to keep this out of the programme, otherwise folks will get angry when we don't answer their questions because we ran out of time.

Once we're clear on the course name I'll send this off to Allison.

happy with the title; plenty of buzz words; there is no premium on length

Okay, resolved and all done in 4dd2b3a9bb31fbec6c10e9a17b396627201b976d
