A mostly practical course, offering an overview on different community ecology and macroecological methods and software.

This course aims to provide students with statistical knowledge and tools to manipulate, analyze and visualize biological data with R. Introduction to modeling, simulations and Bayesian statistics.

This course aims to provide students with basic knowledge of R programming, allowing them to manipulate and visualize data with R

This course will teach how to apply the SWAT eco-hydrological model to assess the impacts of climate and associated changes on water-soil-plant interactions, and consequences to water resources, soil erosion and nutrient cycles.

This course aims at exploring how scientists can use social media as tools to enhance the communication of their research and the dialogue with society, and discussing the differences that exist in the work of scientists and journalists in terms of the methods and deadlines they meet and exploring how scientists and journalists can better articulate.

This course aims to explore ways of communicating science to non-specialized audiences, such as policy makers, industry, general public (including students and teachers), and media professionals, through their engagement and participation in citizen science activities.

Speaker: Adriel Rodrigues (External collaborator PSE).

The goal of this course is to provide to the participants with current and practical knowledge on urban ecology, including ecological and social aspects.

This course promotes a multidisciplinary approach presenting the most recent findings on the topic and challenging the traditional way of considering symbiotic associations as exceptions and not as the rule.

This course is conceived to give an integrated view of the living component of soils, and its key role on ecosystem functions and processes.
