[R-sig-Geo] Spatial Copula Workshop, 22-23 Sep. 2014

[Benedikt Gräler]

Dear list,

I would like to announce the "Spatial Copula Workshop" to be held at the
Institute for Geoinformatics, Muenster, Germany, on 22nd and 23rd
September 2014:

http://ifgi.de/spatialcopulaworkshop/

Copula based models have been developed for various spatial applications
in recent years. In hydrology, copulas are for instance used to model
dependencies among storm variables or to interpolate precipitation
across space. Copulas can be found as well in weather prediction,
interpolation of radioactive radiation, air quality assessments, disease
mapping, or risk evaluation of infectious disease. Some of these models
are based on classical multivariate elliptical copulas with the Matern
class of spatial dependencies,  while other allow for the more flexible
class of vine copulas.

This workshop aims at gathering researchers across different domains
developing and using spatial copulas. During these two days recent
theoretical developments of spatial copulas and their applications will
be presented and discussed. This exchange of ideas will contribute to
the future development of spatial copulas for many application scenarios
and provides opportunities for collaboration in this exciting and
fast-growing research topic.

The abstract submission (~ 500 words) is now open and will close on 18th
May 2014.

Please see the workshop's website for further details:

I would be thankful if you could forward this call to potentially
interested colleagues.

Best wishes,

 Ben
