Discussion Group on Paleoclimate Data and Models
|
|
|
The Program in Spatial
Statistics and Environmental Statistics (SSES) is sponsoring a
Discussion Group on Paleoclimate Data and Models during Winter
Quarter 2012. The format for the discussion group will be
a mix of tutorials, discussions of journal articles, and informal
presentations of participants' research. The research presentations
will be for the most part given by researchers from across campus who
will share their paleoclimate knowledge and analyses. Students are encouraged to register for the series for one credit under Stat 693 with Prof. Noel Cressie in the Department of Statistics.
