IALE-North American Annual Meeting
​The Next Generation of Landscape Ecologists -- Supporting our Future
​April 11-14, 2022 | Virtual​

2022 ARCHIVES: Workshops

The following workshops will be offered at the 2022 IALE-North America Meeting. Please note: pre-registration is required for all workshops (one workshop per registrant). All workshops are being offered concurrently in the afternoon on April 14, 2022. 
Accessible Coding Methods for Gathering Social Media Dataset to Assess Landscapes
Presenters:
 Nathan Fox, University of Michigan; Derek Van Berkel, University of Michigan; Mark Lindquist, University of Michigan
Intended Audience: Novice/Advance users of R (we can do some simple demonstration), that are interested in using social media for research. We will also demonstrate different strategies for analyzing these data (Viewsed, data cleaning).
​
Social media datasets have started to be recognized as an important source of data for environmental and sustainability studies. These datasets, including images, text and videos, can overcome issues of traditional data collection methods by being relatively time-extensive and inexpensive to collect. However, as data from social media sites is mainly accessed through advanced coding methods, this limits access for non-data-scientists. During this workshop we will present a hands-on workflow for obtaining social media posts from the websites Flickr and Reddit with the R environment. Participants of the workshop will require no previous coding experience and will be walked through the simplified methods of obtaining the valuable datasets from beginning to end. Finally, the workshop will demonstrate additional approaches to using these datasets for landscape scale studies such as assessing ecosystem services and species distributions.
Building a Better Field Work Future: Preventing Sexual Harassment in the Field
Presenter: Mandy Frazier, UC Davis

Fieldwork is an important and often necessary component of many scientific disciplines, yet research suggests that it presents a high-risk setting for incidents of sexual harassment and assault. This 90-minute online workshop has been developed by a team of field researchers at UC Santa Cruz. It identifies the unique risks posed by fieldwork and offers a suite of evidence-based tools for field researchers, instructors, and students to prevent, intervene in, and respond to sexual harassment and assault. Through a series of practical intervention scenarios, this workshop guides participants on how to be an active and engaged bystander, how to report incidents, and how to plan field settings to minimize risk. Armed with these tools, participants can play a role in ensuring that field settings are safer, more equitable, and more welcoming for the next generation of field scientists
Metrics that Make a Difference: How to Analyze Change and Error with Applications to Land Change Science and GIS
Presenter:
 Robert Gilmore Pontius Jr, Clark University Graduate School of Geography
Intended Audience: Audience ranges from university students to senior scientists.

This workshop concerns how to measure temporal change and predictive error for a variety of applications, in particular for Land Change Science and Geographic Information Science. We discuss how to avoid common blunders and to use enlightening techniques such as the Total Operating Characteristic and Difference Components. Participants range from students to senior scientists. The workshop focuses on concepts, not on how to use specific software, but software is freely available. Participants are entitled to a 50% discount on a general or academic license of the GIS software TerrSet (clarklabs.org). Participants do not need to use computers in the workshop. This is the newest version of the workshops that Professor Pontius has presented dozens of times in 17 countries (www.clarku.edu/~rpontius/).
Spatial Inequality Dynamics with PySAL
Presenters: 
Sergio Rey, Center for Geospatial Sciences University of California Riverside; Elijah Knaap, Center for Geospatial Sciences University of California Riverside
Intended Audience: A basic understanding of Python is assumed.

This workshop introduces researchers to the open source Python Spatial Analysis Library (PySAL) for use in analyzing spatial inequality and equity in landscape ecology. Topics include: spatial data processing, construction of spatial graphs and networks; neighborhood delineation and analysis; global and local spatial autocorrelation analysis;   and inequality and segregation analysis. Methods of dynamic geovisualization will also be covered. The workshop will be interactive and presented using JupyterHub. Participants will be given accounts on the Hub and will need a device (laptop, tablet) to interact with the materials.
