Call for POSTERS

The GRASPA-SIS biennial conference of the Italian research group for  
Environmental Statistics will be held on 15-16 July 2019 at the  
University "G. d’Annunzio" of Chieti-Pescara. GRASPA 2019 is also the  
2019 European regional conference of The International Environmetrics  
Society (TIES).

GRASPA 2019 endorses co-operation among statisticians, academics from  
environmental sciences as well as practitioners from government and  
independent environmental agencies creating a space for the exchange  
of experiences and ideas on various aspects relevant to the protection  
of the natural environment. GRASPA 2019 is an opportunity to share  
research interests related to the development and use of statistical  
methods in environmental sciences, fostering methodological  
developments and applications in fields such as spatial and  
spatio-temporal modelling, functional data analysis, directional data,  
spatial and spatio-temporal sampling and extreme values.

GRASPA 2019 is based on 10 invited specialized sessions with  
discussion. However, PhD students, post-docs and other researchers  
working in the field of environmental statistics are all invited to  
participate at the conference and present their works during the  
organized poster sessions.

Authors wishing to present a poster are invited to submit a short  
paper (i.e., abstract up to 4 pages describing the contribution using  
the Word/LaTeX template) on-line by 25/03/2019.

Keynote speakers:
- Marc Genton (https://stsda.kaust.edu.sa/Pages/Home.aspx)
- Alexandra M. Schmidt  
(https://www.mcgill.ca/epi-biostat-occh/alexandra-m-schmidt)
- John T. Kent  
(https://physicalsciences.leeds.ac.uk/staff/44/professor-john-t-kent)
The book of abstracts/short papers will be published online with the  
associated ISSN/ISBN, and extended versions of a selection of  
contributions presented at the conference GRASPA 2019, including  
posters, will be published in a special issue of the journal  
Statistical Methods & Applications, Springer.
