Teaching and educational resources

Teaching and educational resources summary

Mark has taught several courses in fisheries stock assessment, population assessment, ecological modelling, and AD Model Builder (ADMB), including a graduate course in Ecological Modelling at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego. His teaching materials have also been used by others in their courses.

The CAPAM workshop series developed, coordinated, and chaired by Mark has been a leading resource for students and young scientists learning stock assessment.  

Mark has mentored several students and young scientists leading to publications in peer reviewed journals.

Mark also has published several papers that are great resources for teaching various topics. Some of which are not well know due to where they have been published.
