"Theories of Demography"
This session will introduce participants to the history of world population and to selected demographic theories of population change. We will examine past changes in the size, distribution, and composition of the human population at the global level, and then current population characteristics at the global and regional levels. We will consider theories of fertility and mortality decline in the context of understanding demographic transition theory. We will then focus more attention on recent theories of migration, because of the close relationship between migration and environmental change.
12:30 - 2:00 Lunch

GIS Lecture #3: "GIS Data Documentation and Spatial Data Analysis"
Social and biophysical data may be spatially represented using a variety of techniques, each with specific elements of error and modeling appropriateness. This session discusses methods of representing spatial data and methods of transforming data to allow the integration of data from disparate sources. These data transformations include buffering, vector-raster conversion, and other analytical tools. Error issues in data transformations and data analysis will be emphasized.

"Demographic Methods"
This session will cover the uses of standard sources of demographic data. Specifically, we will focus on statistics that you can calculate using published census and vital statistics data. We will cover the calculation and interpretation of basic demographic rates and the comparison of these rates across populations. You will briefly learn how to calculate various fertility, mortality, and migration rates, as well as how to use direct and indirect standardization techniques and decomposition analysis to compare these rates across populations.

"Mesoamerica Research Discussion"
CIPEC's work in Mesoamerica focuses on sites in Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico. Processes of forest change vary from severe degradation and clearing to successful management with afforestation. The processes relate to local organizational capacity and priorities, as well as interactions with regional, national, and international policies and pressures. This discussion will address recent research in the region, including the results of analyses that address landscape dynamics and trajectories, and accessibility factors. It will explore theoretical challenges and puzzles for comparative studies of human dimensions of forest change across sites in the region.

"LUCC and FAO Classification System"
The Land-Use and Land-Cover Change (LUCC) project is a Programme Element of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) and the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP). This core project is an interdisciplinary program aimed at improving the understanding of land use and land-cover change dynamics and their relationships with global environmental change. From its inception, the planning and implementation of the project has actively engaged both the physical and social science communities, and this will continue to be an important modus operandi in the future.

"CIPEC's Biocomplexity Research"
We will introduce the concept of biocomplexity and CIPEC's new biocomplexity research project. Concepts of resilience and complex adaptive systems will be discussed, as well as a relatively new methodology of agent-based modeling. This is illustrated by reforestation in Indiana as a consequence of decisions by non-industrial private landowners, interacting with timber industry, local government, NGOs, foresters, etc. This system is analyzed by agent-based modeling in combination with laboratory experiments, fieldwork, surveys, remote sensing, and statistical analysis.
