Use of the Mesohabitat Simulation Model (mesoHABSIM) for Instream Habitat
Assessments.
Flow 2008 Conference of Instream Flow Council
Date: October 6, 2008
Location: San Antonio, Texas
Tuition: $125
This one day workshop will present the basics of MesoHABSIM application and how the approach creates a framework for the comprehensive and quantitative analysis of human-induced alterations and identifies effective flow and channel restoration measures. read more...
MesoHABSIM: Instream Habitat Data Collection and Modeling
Summer Course, Date: September 8-12, 2008
Location: Amherst Massachusetts
Tuition: $950
The course is intended to teach the basics of data collection techniques within the MesoHABSIM framework, data processing with MesoHABSIM software and the creation of GIS habitat models. Course participants will have an opportunity to conduct stream habitat mapping with a PocketPC, use the grid electrofishing technique, compute multivariate habitat suitability criteria for native fish species, create habitat suitability maps, create habitat-flow rating curves and habitat time series analysis (UCUT curves), develop flow augmentation scenarios and simulate habitat improvement measures. This course also includes training in Sim-Stream software.

138th Annual Meeting of American Fisheries Society
Date: August 16-17, 2008
Location: Ottawa, Ontario
Tuition: Student $150, Member $220, Non-member $270
This 2 day Continuing Education course will introduce students to basics of MesoHABSIM apporach and field data collection read more...
MesoHABSIM Instream Data Collection and Modelling
Winter Course - April 21-25, 2008
Location: Technical University of Madrid, Spain
The course is intended to teach the basics of data collection techniques within the MesoHABSIM framework, data processing with MesoHABSIM software and the creation of GIS habitat models. Course participants will have any opportunity to conduct stream habitat mapping with a Pocket PC, use the grid electrofishing technique, compute multivariable habitat suitability criteria for native fish species, create habitat suitability maps, create habitat-flow rating curves and habitat time series analysis (UCUT Curves), develop flow agumentation scenarios and simulate habitat improvment measures. This course also includes training in Sim-Stream software.
