The MEDDLE resources were developed to help researchers design and carry out tractable and comparable multiple driver experiments. In this workshop, participants will learn how to use these resources to design multiple driver experiments. While the concepts and methods discussed can apply to many systems, examples used during the workshop will focus on manipulative experiments rather than observational data. The workshop is geared mainly towards PhD students, postdocs, and ECRs new to multiple driver research, and focuses heavily on the rationale of different experimental designs, and analysis strategies for multiple driver experiments. A basic working knowledge of statistics is needed (regression analysis), and statistical analysis examples will use R. Participants should bring a laptop with R and R studio installed.
Hosted by the SCOR project “Changing Ocean Biological Systems”, this free workshop will be led by Sinéad Collins, University of Edinburgh (UK), Simin Gao, University of Edinburgh (UK), Paul Renaud, Akvaplan-niva (Norway).
