SUMMARY:London Freshwater Algal Identification Course
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to offer a five-day course to train staff of environmental and other agencies\, utility companies\, consultancies\, museums\, universities and research students in the identification of the major groups of ecologically-important freshwater algae. Special consideration will be given to harmful and nuisance algae\, recognition of algae responsible for ‘incidents’ and the use of freshwater algae for ecological assessment.  It is designed to be an introduction for those with limited experience of freshwater algae but\, nonetheless\, every effort will be made to cater for those who wish to enhance their existing taxonomic expertise and identification skills. \nTutors:  Prof. David John (NHM)\, Dr Martyn Kelly (Bowburn Consultancy\, co-organiser)\, Prof. Brian Whitton (Durham)\, Dr David Williams (NHM\, guest lecturer). \nWhere: The course will be held at The Angela Marmont Centre for UK Biodiversity in the Darwin Centre of the Natural History Museum\, Cromwell Road\, South Kensington\, London\, with some lectures in the Sir Neil Chalmers seminar room. \nProgramme: The daily programme of lectures and practicals begins at 1230 on Monday 14th September and at 0900 on all other days.  The programme runs each day  to 1730 except on Friday 18th September when the course finishes after lunch at 1400. \nCost: The course fee of £450 (excl. VAT) covers all tuition and loan of all material including the 2011 edition of The Freshwater Algal Flora of the British Isles.  All those attending receive a folder\, a manual and a data pen with  supporting materials. Students who have been members of the British Phycological Society for at least three months may apply directly to the Society for some financial support. Details are posted on the BPS website\, with the next closing date for applications 1st May. \nParticipants will need to make their own arrangements for accommodation.  A list of accommodation in the London area will be sent to registrants well in advance of the course.   \nHow to apply: Reservations for one of the 12 available places on the course should be made to Martyn Kelly (see below).  A full refund will be made to anyone paying in advance if cancelling before 31st July\, while 50% refund will be made to anyone cancelling between then and 1st September. All fees will be refunded in full in the unlikely event of cancellation due to the Covid-19 (coronavirus) epidemic. We are\, however\, unable to refund travel and accommodation costs and therefore recommend participants take out travel insurance. \nCourse Flyer:  Download the Flyer here \nFURTHER INFORMATION \nMartyn G.

SUMMARY:Collecting and Identifying Seaweeds 2019
DESCRIPTION:The British Phycological Society in association with the Marine Biological Association of the UK \nIntroduction: 18th to 19th March & Advanced: 20th to 22nd March \nBased at the Marine Biological Association\, Plymouth \nRun by Professor Christine Maggs (JNCC\, Peterborough) & Francis Bunker (MarineSeen\, Pembrokeshire) \nAdvanced course includes guest teachers and speakers including: Professor Ignacio Bárbara (University of A Coruña)\, Professor Juliet Brodie (Natural History Museum) and Anne Bunker (Natural Resources Wales) \nThis course now offers two modules\, an introduction to seaweeds (aimed at beginners or those who feel that they need a refresher in the basics); and an advanced module for those who want to look at seaweeds in more detail and get to grips with the more difficult groups (e.g. slimy green and brown seaweeds and red seaweeds that can only be identified reliably under high powered microscopes or by sectioning). Attend the whole 5-day course for total immersion in the world of seaweeds. \nNumbers will be limited to enable the tutors to cater for individual needs of interested amateurs\, professional biologists requiring further training or refreshers\, students (graduate and post graduate)\, artists\, and those working with the Water Framework Directive. \nOutline of module – An introduction to seaweeds \nStart: Monday 18th March 09:00. End: Tuesday 19th March 17:00: \n(Sites chosen for field visits may vary depending on weather conditions etc.) \nDay 1 (Monday\, 18th March) – A guided tour of a rocky shore to find the different seaweeds characterising each zone. Seaweeds will be collected to take back to the laboratory for identification. There will be introductory lectures on the topics of seaweed and seaweed identification. \nDay 2 (Tuesday\, 19th March) – Field trip to a contrasting habitat followed by laboratory identification and short talks on a variety of topics. \nOutline of module – Advanced seaweed identification \nStart: Wednesday 20th March 09:15. End: Friday 22nd March 17:00: \n(Sites chosen for field visits may vary depending on weather conditions etc.) \nDay 3 (Wednesday\, 20th March) – A field trip to collect seaweeds from one of the species rich shores in Plymouth Sound\, followed by intensive laboratory sessions on identification. Skills in the use of keys based on microscopic characters\, sectioning and staining will be taught and practiced. \nDay 4 – (Thursday\, 21st March) – A second field trip to a local marina in Plymouth Sound with identification concentrating on filamentous algae and non-native species. \nDay 5 – (Friday\, 22nd March) – This will concentrate on laboratory time and practice / consolidation of techniques learned. The topic of molecular taxonomy will be introduced and together with a summary of techniques involved. There will be an opportunity for further field collections if requested. \nCosts and applications \n18th to 22nd March: Whole Course – A whole week immersion in the world of seaweeds. Cost of course £400. Food at the MBA 5 lunches\, four dinners\, tea and coffee £190.00 \n18th to 19th March: Introduction – Cost of course £170.Food at the MBA: Two lunches\, one dinner\, tea and coffee £55 or Two lunches\, two dinners\, tea and coffee £90. \n20th to 22nd March: Advanced – Cost of course £250.
