April 2005

The Eco-Informatics Centre is currently offering a course in landscape ecology to be taught as part of the new MSc programme in Wildlife Biology that was started by Wildlife Conservation Society -India Programme and partners (http://www.wcsindia.org/wnew.htm). This module is taught in two parts; introductory and advanced, each extending over a month. The introduction to Landscape Ecology also covers some basic Remote Sensing and GIS concepts as well as mapping and analytic tools that are relevant to landscape ecology and natural resource management. The advanced module in landscape ecology focuses on modeling and geostatistical tools that can be applied to landscape ecological research and requires the development and implementation of individual research projects.
