Ecoinformatics
A course for undergraduates covering computational approaches in macroecology
This course provides a thorough introduction to the study of broad-scale patterns (in time, space, and/or taxonomy) of biodiversity and the mechanisms that underlie them. This course also aims to provide integrated training for analyses on large environmental and ecological datasets to build a skillset of analytical techniques such as data wrangling, visualisation, and interpretation.
The course website was adapted from Data Carpentry for Biologists website (http://www.datacarpentry.org/semester-biology/). As for their course material, instructors are welcome to modify and use this material for your own courses. We encourage collaborative development and contributions by other instructors, with the hopes that this will lead to better training and resources for everyone.
