META workshop

Mathematical Methods for Complex Ecological Systems

School of Mathematics, University of Birmingham, 16 December 2016

Ecological complexity has several different components (spatial, temporal, structural, behavioural etc.) and each of them requires application of a different variety of mathematical techniques. This workshop will be mostly focussed on advanced mathematical topics related to spatiotemporal models of ecosystem dynamics. Topics will a include ( but not limited to) the control theory for ecological applications, movement ecology, and uncertainty and structural sensitivity in models of population dynamics.
