The MEESO project has produced an e-learning webinar presenting the StrathSPACE Model which is a discrete-time and discrete-space single-species population model.
This e-learning webinar from MEESO work package 5 and 8 consists of a video and slides providing an introduction to the StrathSPACE Model: a discrete-time and discrete-space single-species population model.
The webinar outlines
- the technical challenges in modelling populations that are both physiologically and spatially structured.
- the technical innovations deployed in StrathSPACE in order to produce a model that is computationally efficient and hence fast-running enough to carry out parameter explorations.
- an example of the model outputs (spatial distribution, length distribution and biomass time series) for in implementation involving Benthosema glaciale, including a forecast of stocks up to 2050 under an RCP8.5 climate change scenario.
