SARMA/TIES Workshop on Visualization of Climate Data - Reykjavík, 15-18 August 2011
TIES is co-organizing a workshop on visualization of climate data and models with the Nordic Network on Statistical Approaches to Regional Climate Models for Adaptation (SARMA).
It will be a "working workshop", where participants will develop solutions to visualization problems in climate science.
The workshop instructors are visualization experts: Dianne Cook (Iowa State University), Haley Wickham (Rice University), and Heike Hofmann (Iowa State University).
Announcement, registration, etc. is available through the workshop web pages at http://www.nrcse.washington.edu/NordicNetwork/visual.html
European Regional TIES Conference: Spatial Data Methods for Environmental and Ecological Processes - 2nd Edition - Foggia and Baia delle Zagare, Italy, 1-2 September 2011
Spatial Data Methods for Environmental and Ecological Processes – 2nd Edition – is the 2011 European Regional Conference of The International Environmetrics Society and will be held in Baia delle Zagare (Foggia) Italy, over 1-2 September 2011.
The conference is interdisciplinary (statisticians, agronomists, biologists, ecologists and more are encouraged to attend) and fosters the exchange of experiences between researchers working on spatial and spatio-temporal environmental problems.
The main scope of the conference is to create a space for the exchange of experiences and ideas among researchers from different scientific backgrounds working on spatial and spatio-temporal environmental problems.
Conference technical topics include:
- Groundwater pollution and hydrology
- Soil science, site remediation, industrial sites
- Environmental risk assessment
- Climatology and meteorology
- Ecology, conservation and natural resources management
- Agriculture and biodiversity
- Sampling designs for natural studies
- Disease mapping
- Air quality
New deadline for title and abstract submission: 31 March 2011
