Seminar on advanced assessment tools for offshore development

This one-day MaREI seminar is run in association with DHI and provides an overview of advanced numerical ecological models for marine and coastal environments, ranging from environmental pressure modelling to habitat suitability, agent-based and ‘integrated’ modelling.

The seminar will include a synopsis of the basic functionality of reviewed models and their benefit and applicability for use in risk analyses, project planning, environmental assessment permitting processes, and environmental monitoring and management.

Light refreshments will be provided and all attendees are required to register in advance before 20^th October.  

Registration is free but space is limited and will be allocated on a first-come first served basis.

Please REGISTER HERE up to 20^th October.
