Analysis of Organismal Form An introduction to morphometrics, delivered as a Web-based course 7 November – 16 December 2011

Instructor: Chris Klingenberg

The course is part of the final year of various undergraduate degree programmes in the life sciences. The course is delivered via the Web to make it accessible to participants from outside of Manchester.

The course provides an introduction to geometric morphometrics and its applications.

The course is equivalent to 18 lectures, some exercises for practicing the techniques on actual data, and discussion among participants via the course bulletin board. The practical component is an integral component of the course. There will be examples of data analyses -- the course will provide the data sets used and directions on how to perform the analyses using the MorphoJ software (participants can use other software if they prefer).

The fee for the course is GBP 260.00 for external participants (those not enrolled in a course of study at the University of Manchester).

The deadline for pre-registration for this year's course has passed. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate any more late registrations. There will be another course in late 2012, which will be announced on this web site and on Morphmet.

The course itself will then start on 7 November 2011.
