Pre-conference workshop

  • A pre-conference workshop (Experimental design for multiple driver research) will be led by Christopher Cornwall (Victoria University, School of Biological Sciences), Christina McGraw (University of Otago, Department of Chemistry), and Peter Dillingham (University of Otago, Department of Mathematics and Statistics). This workshop will incorporate the MEDDLE resources developed by SCOR Working Group 149 to help researchers design and carry out marine multiple-driver experiments.

  • The workshop will be held from 9:00 – 5:00 on Wednesday 10 February at the University of Otago (Mellor 215). Register for the workshop using the Conference registration and abstract submission form.
