Foundation for Ecological Research, Advocacy and Learning

We are conducting a week long course (22nd to 26th Februrary 2010) on basic analysis on spreadsheets, databases and vector GIS. The course is split into two sessions every day, one dealing with the basic analysis on the specific tools and the second dealing with importing the data into R for slightly more advanced analysis and graphing.

This is NOT a beginner or introductory course and you'll be a liability unless you are up to speed with the following:

1. Use of spreadsheets for basic data manipulation, calculations (sum/average simple formulae) and charting
2. Use of Q-GIS for digitising and running simple select queries
3. Use of OObase for linking to a PostgreSQL database and running basic operations such as creating tables and writing queries using the visual SQL builder.

Note: There are only 5 seats for non-FERAL staff.
