This two-part course is designed to provide a thorough and extensive training in a broad range of statistical methods required to tackle substantive environmental problems.

The target audience is postgraduate (2nd or 3rd year) or postdoctoral environmental scientists across many disciplines who are statistically numerate but not expert. The course will give a detailed overview of modern statistical methods along with critical discussion of their potential application to environmental problems. The aim is to enhance the capacity of environmental scientists both to undertake rigorous analyses themselves and also to appreciate the contribution statistical thinking can bring to their research. The six-month gap between the two modules gives participants the opportunity to assimilate the knowledge gained in the first part within their own research/work environment before moving on to the second part of the course.

The organisers and a majority of the speakers are members of the Royal Statistical Society's Environmental Statistics Study Group (ESSG) and the foundations of this course were a series of tutorial sessions organised by ESSG in 2001/2.
