Teaching
2007 1-day workshop on the use of multivariate autoregressive models for analysis of community time series data. Ecological Society
Meetings, San Jose.
2006 Lecture and PopTools lab on Marine Mammal life-history modeling.
- Undergraduate level. In the lab, the students pretended they were on the 1989 Steller sea lion status review team and had to give a listing recommendation and rationale. Each team (5 students) wrote a 5 min Powerpoint presentation and gave it at the end of the 2 hr lab.
- The lab uses the free Excel plug-in PopTools developed by Greg Hood at CSIRO, Canberra, Australia.
- Lecture slides, PopTools lab, and Lab background
