WIOMSA and SCOR’s Changing Ocean Biological Systems infrastructure group are excited to host a virtual workshop for researchers from the Western Indian Ocean region, interested in learning how to design and conduct tractable multiple-driver experiments. This workshop will guide participants in using the MEDDLE resources to:
- Define a relevant research question
- Identify key drivers, biological traits, and responses
- Select an appropriate experimental design
- Develop a statistical analysis plan
Workshop Details:
- Dates: 4 and 5 February 2025
- Time: 9:00 am – 12:00 pm (East Africa Time)
- Participant Limit: 8 researchers
Eligibility: Participants should have experience designing and conducting single-driver experiments (e.g., marine warming, ocean acidification). Attendees must be available to attend both sessions.
How to Apply: Interested researchers should email Christina McGraw (christina.mcgraw@otago.ac.nz) by 23 December 2024. The application should include a brief statement (<150 words) outlining:
- Your experience with single-driver experiments
- How you plan to incorporate multiple driver experiments into your research.
Succesful applicants will be notified by 8th January 2025
Conveners: Christina McGraw, Damboia Cossa, Christopher Cornwall, Peter Dillingham
