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.

Wednesdays, January 11, 2012 to February 29, 2012 (inclusive)

11:30-12:18 PM in Cockins Hall (CH), Room 212
