Obiettivo The host research group is composed of 22 modellers with many international co-operations. Thus the fellows will become acquainted with different modem and important branches of ecological modelling, and with a variety of ecological problems which can be modelled. They will learn a structured approach to constructing models which are tailored to the specific problem of interest and available information . This approach to problem solving will enable the fellows to identify a modelling approach that is appropriate for their own doctoral work. Fellows with a PhD theme in ecological modelling will learn both new techniques of ecological modelling (rule-based, individual-based, grid-based spatially explicit, stochastic, GIS-related), and methodologies for connecting their work to general ecological concepts and theories. Fellows who are primarily field ecologists will become familiar with evaluating the published modelling literature, to co-operate with other modellers and to construct small models of their own. Fellows will gain an appreciation of the potential applications of modelling to the own work, and how rule-based modelling can be applied to economic and sociological Campo scientifico natural sciencesbiological sciencesecologyecosystems Programma(i) FP5-EESD - Programme for research, technological development and demonstration on "Energy, environment and sustainable development, 1998-2002" Argomento(i) 1.1.4.-2. - Key action Global Change, Climate and Biodiversity Invito a presentare proposte Data not available Meccanismo di finanziamento BUR - Bursaries, grants, fellowships Coordinatore UFZ - UMWELTFORSCHUNGSZENTRUM LEIPZIG - HALLE GMBH Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo Permoserstrasse 15 04318 LEIPZIG Germania Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato
