ABSTRACT
Ecological modeling serves as a vital bridge between natural observations and predictive science. However, creating a successful model requires two distinct but interconnected skill sets: the ability to structure complex systems into mathematical equations and the ability to find reliable quantitative values for those equations. This workshop offers a comprehensive introduction to these foundational pillars, drawing from the principles of model formulation and parameterization.
