Spatial Program Transition Workshop - October 11-13, 2010
Workshop Information
It has been a very good year for the Space-Time Analysis for Environmental Mapping, Epidemiology and Climate Change program. From a very large opening workshop - more than 140 attendees, with the formulation of nine working groups which, in turn, splintered into subgroups, with a rich roster of visitors both Fall and Spring, the program was successful on all dimensions.
As is customary, it is now time for the transition workshop which signifies the formal end of the program under SAMSI but not the end of the research collaborations that have been established. We envision much more "product" to emerge from this program. The transition workshop is scheduled for 11-13 October, 2010 at SAMSI. The program includes two distinguished invited speakers, Noel Cressie from Ohio State University and Amy Herring from University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill. In addition there will be 18 presentations, two from each of the working groups. The workshop will conclude with the working group leaders holding an open discussion regarding the major accomplishments of their groups and future work being explored by group members.
