Advancing Marine Species Density Surface Modelling.
Webinar – 1st June 1100-1330 EST
Following on from two successful workshops held at the Society for Marine Mammalogy Conferences in Halifax and Barcelona, a 2.5 hour webinar was held on 1st June to provide a final summary of advancements made by the LMR-funded DenMod project team over the last four years on analytical methods for density surface modelling.
The last 15mins of the webinar was a Q&A session. We didn’t have time to address all of the questions that were asked of the project team, and so here we provide written answers to the questions.
Past meetings and workshops
