[R-sig-Geo] GEOSTAT 2010 Summer School, 27 June - 4 July 2010; University of Plasencia, Spain

[Tomislav Hengl]

Dear R-sig-geo,

In relation with our preparations for the GEOSTAT 2010 summer school, it would be of great help if some of you would consider printing and posting the announcement for the summer school via e.g. news board at your department/institute. This way also people off this mailing list (but with potentially high motivation) might consider applying. For more info see:

http://geostat2010.info/flyer

A PDF of the flyer can be obtained from here:

Thank you!

> This is the first call for participation in the GEOSTAT 2010 Summer
> School. GEOSTAT focuses on important aspects of statistical analysis of
> spatial and spatio-temporal data using open source / free GIS tools: R,
> SAGA GIS, GRASS GIS, Quantum GIS, GDAL, Google Earth and similar. The
> course participants learn how to move data back and forth between
> different environments, how to produce scripts and automate analysis. We
> welcome also R beginners and users needing refresh courses in
> programming. This year, we would also like to introduce/promote topics
> such as: web-based computing, WPS client-server environments, 3D and 4D
> geostatistics, combining R+SAGA/GRASS. This is a 5-day course with two
> parallel sessions, which means that there will be total 7 full-day
> blocks (three days with parallel sessions) of lectures; the last day of
> the summer school participants can present their research problems and
> ask for feedback from the whole summer school. For more info see:
