Introduction to Climate and Ecological Models for Forest Adaptation 2026 Spring

Introduction to Climate and Ecological Models for Forest Adaptation (this is not a self-paced course)

March 30 – April 10, 2026

This online course will introduce various climatic and ecological modelling tools and guide the students to practical applications of scale-free climate models and niche-based ecological models used in forest and ecological, (such as birds, fish and animals), resource management to increase the resilience and viability of forest ecosystems. By the end of the course, students will master these skills and techniques:

1. Use climatic models to generate spatial climate data
2. Understand niche-based ecological models
3. Interpret and apply model output to forest management practice
