Distance Sampling Workshop Online

Check out this online version of our Distance Sampling workshop! Traditionally, we have been giving this introductory workshop here in St Andrews over the course of four days. During the past few months, we have turned the lectures and exercises into videos, which you can watch online at your own pace.

So, if you are interested in learning about Distance Sampling, but have not been able to attend our workshop, or need to brush up on specific topics, all workshop materials are now available at:

This course includes:

  • 21 videos of our lectures described by workshop instructors here in St Andrews

  • PDFs of the lectures

  • 12 exercises, complete with description, data and discussion of Solutions

  • Narrated demonstrations of working with the distance sampling software, Distance.

We have plans for covering additional content in the future and – possibly – live webinars working through exercises and datasets.

We hope having these materials on line will promote best practices and assist in management of wildlife populations around the world.

Try it out and send us feedback.
