We are delighted to announce that the new Spatial Statistics conference will be held in Avignon, France, from the 9-12 June 2015 under the theme, Emerging Patterns.
Spatial statistics is a rapidly developing field involving the quantitative analysis of spatial data and the statistical modelling of spatial variability and uncertainty.
The theme, Emerging Patterns in Spatial Statistics will highlight trends on various topics such as ‘new sources of spatial data’, ‘predictive modelling’, ‘disease mapping’, ‘hazards, disasters and risks’, ‘climate change’ and ‘tipping points’.
This is a significant opportunity for you to hear from leading scientists in the field and to network with colleagues in industry and academia to ensure you keep abreast of recent developments in this fast evolving field.
Abstract submissions are invited on the conference topics below and should be submitted using the online submission system by the 13 February 2015.
- Space-time statistics (e.g. point patterns models, estimation methods, large dimensions, scale issues)
- Spatial data quality and uncertainty
- Parameter estimation in PDEs
- Stochastic geometry, tesselation, point processes, random sets
- Spatial econometrics
- New spatial data sources (e.g. big, data, social media, Google, citizen science, crowd source maps)
- Image analyses (e.g. satellite images time series, DNA data, nano particles, nervous systems)
- Predictive modelling
- Tipping points (e.g. sea-level rise, socio-economic shifts)
- Hazards, disasters and risks
(e.g. tsunamis, earthquakes, landslides, air pollution levels) - Global change (e.g. stochastic weather generators)
- Health, medical and epidemiology
- Plant and animal epidemiology (emerging epidemics)
- Ecology (e.g. dispersion, migration, colonisation and invasion of species)
Spatial Statistics Society
The Spatial Statistics Society aims to create a community and network of scientists who are interested in the theory and application of spatial statistics in the widest sense, including all physical and social/economic domains.
