I am having trouble finding information on landscape genomics workshops in the U.S. I have limited funds which is why I'm trying to find something close to where I live. I am specifically interested in learning more about methods to analyze NGS data to identify loci associated with climatic variation, designing a good sampling scheme and how one can use SNPs generated from restriction site associated seq (RAD) data (and other platforms) to address landscape genomics questions.
Too bad you just missed a deadline for a landscape genetic workshop in Germany!

Otherwise, you could look at the Summer Institute in Statistical Genetics, which has different modules every year but always some on genomics.

Lastly, some good articles on landscape genomics recently, especially on climate variation:

Thanks Sean! Yea there was also a recent deadline for a landscape genomics workshop in Italy but I just don't have the money to get out there, and I may have had a low chance of getting in anyway because they were giving preference to people from certain European countries. I will check out the UW courses. :-)
