THE SSES PROGRAM
Teaching


In teaching, the SSES Program offers courses in both Spatial Statistics (at the PhD level) and Environmental Statistics (at the MS level) through the Department of Statistics.

Spatial Statistics (3-credit PhD-level course): Stat 829
The course is taught every other Winter quarter, in odd years (next taught in Winter quarter 2007).

The lectures present topics that include exploratory spatial data analysis, (multivariate) spatial prediction, spatial hierarchical modeling (empirical Bayesian and fully Bayesian), and the incoroporation of a temporal component in spatial models.

Environmental Statistics (3-credit MS-level course): Stat 662
The course is taught every other Spring quarter in even years (next taught in Spring quarter 2008).

The lectures present topics that include standard statistics used in environmental settings, bioassay, censoring, spatial statistics, and hierarchical models.

Discussions In Spatial and Environmental Statistics (DISES)

The Program in Spatial Statistics and Environmental Sciences organizes, on an occasional basis, brown-bag seminars in spatial and environmental statistics and a quarter-long discussion group in environmental statistics.

Geospatial Data and Analysis (GSDA) Graduate Interdiscplinary Specialization (GIS)

The Departments of Statistics and Geography offer a Graduate Interdisciplinary Specialization in Geospatial Data and Analysis (GSDA). This non-degree program supplements the graduate curricula in the core sciences as well the technically oriented degree programs such as Geography, Statistics, and Engineering. The overarching goals of the GSDA specialization are to streamline students' training in the various aspects of geospatial technology and, consequently, improve the quality of research performed by Ohio State graduate students.
