Guest lecturers from University of the Western Cape delivered an Introduction to Statistical Software
Guest lecturers from University of the Western Cape delivered an Introduction to Statistical Software course to the South African Masters in Ocean Sciences cohort at Nelson Mandela University’s Ocean Sciences Campus. In the South African context, this contribution is particularly significant as it strengthens national capacity in marine and coastal research. South Africa’s extensive coastline and its strategic position between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans demand advanced data analysis skills to address challenges such as climate change, coastal erosion, fisheries management, and marine biodiversity conservation. Equipping postgraduate students with statistical software competencies enhances their ability to analyse complex oceanographic datasets, interpret environmental trends, and produce evidence-based research that informs policy and sustainable ocean governance.#datascience #oceansciences #nelsonmandelauniversity
