SUMMARY:Habitat mapping and modelling
DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION \nSurveys of the marine environment need to be converted into data products that are useful for marine management. One such product is the “biotope” map – a map of the environment categorised into areas with similar community and environmental conditions (or “habitats”). Such maps can show which biotopes are rare\, inform understanding of ecosystem functions\, and generally inform knowledge-based sustainable management for industrial development and conservation. \nThis three day workshop will give you a broad background in the concepts and methods behind generating biotope maps\, and will walk you through an example workflow based on methods currently being used by MAREANO\, Norway’s national seabed mapping programme. \nYou will learn cluster analysis techniques for biotope classification\, random forest modelling techniques for predictive mapping (and potentially others if time allows)\, and evaluation methods for assessing your predictions and communicating uncertainty. \nYou can be a complete beginner at modelling methods to take this course\, but all analyses will be performed in the R software environment (with R studio)\, so a basic level of R coding knowledge is necessary to make the most of this course. Scripts and data will be provided. \nIt will be held in English. \nOrganized by CIIMAR and IMR (Norway\, https://www.hi.no/en)\, in scope of the TwinDEEPS (a Horizon Europe project\, funded in scope of the Widening programme (Grant Agreement no. 101160298). \nTRAINERS \nDr Rebecca Ross (https://www.hi.no/en/hi/about-us/employees/rebecca-ross) \nRebecca is a deep-sea benthic ecologist and modeller. Her career is generally focussed on applied marine ecology – producing scientific results that support sustainable evidence-based marine management. This includes experience in deep-sea survey and analytical methods development\, video analyses\, species/habitat distribution modelling\, larval dispersal modelling\, biotope classification\, and vulnerable marine ecosystem definition. \nShe is currently a researcher at the Institute of Marine Research in Bergen\, Norway and working primarily on the Norwegian national mapping project\, MAREANO. \nDr Jonatan Fredricson Marquez (https://www.hi.no/en/hi/about-us/employees/jonatan-fredricson-marquez) \nJonatan is a marine biologist who specializes in spatial analyses and mapping. His current work focuses on developing different types of maps of the marine benthos to aid management and conservation strategies\, such as maps of habitat\, biotopes\, or other management units. He is familiar with a range of mapping techniques from regressive and multivariate models to machine learning models. \nHe currently works as a researcher in the benthic communities research group at the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research where he is involved in the MAREANO project\, as well as other projects related to nature accounting\, natur-i-norge\, and regional benthic mapping. \nPREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE \nMust have some working knowledge of R software environment. \nMORE INFORMATION AND REGISTRATION\n\nA maximum of 20 participants will be selected for the workshop\, considering their motivation and the potential impact of the workshop in their careers.\nThe registration deadline is October 31\, 2025.\nIf you have any doubts please contact: twindeeps@ciimar.up.pt
