Train-the-Trainers 2 Workshop Overview

Join us for the "Train-the-Trainers" workshop held in August 2013 at iDigBio in Gainesville, Florida. This session will delve into essential georeferencing concepts, including the Point Radius Method and best practices for locality descriptions. Participants will engage in discussions on collaborations, automation, and practical skills such as georeferencing using paper maps. Learn the importance of accurate geographic data for biodiversity management, conservation planning, and research. Attendees will also explore valuable online resources like the GEOLocate Project to enhance their training capabilities.

  12. Why Georeference • Correct geographic and specimen identification data = dependable occurrence record. • Occurrence data validates the importance of biological collections, especially to non-taxonomists. • Distribution of populations and species ranges • Phylogeography • Niche modelling • Conservation planning and biodiversity management • Provides uncertainty data, which allows data to be evaluated with regards to its fitness for research application and resulting quality of output.
