<div dir="ltr"><br clear="all">HI, <br>Apologies for cross-posting:<br><br>Summer school organized by <a href="http://www.spatial-ecology.net" target="_blank">www.spatial-ecology.net</a>:<br><br><b>SPATIO-TEMPORAL ANALYSIS AND BIG DATA PROCESSING USING FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE </b>(basic and advanced levels)<br><br>Over
 the last few decades there has been an explosion in the availability of
 data for environmental research, and in particular for spatio-temporal 
analysis. We are now able to address a number of important questions, 
both new and old, with unprecedented rigor and generality. Leveraging 
these exciting new data streams requires tools and increasingly complex 
workflows. This 6-day course introduces a set of free and open source 
software (GRASS, R, Python, AWK, BASH, GDAL) to perform spatio-temporal 
analysis and modelling of environmental data in a Linux environment. We also introduce multi-core, cloud and cluster computation procedures. <font>The
 course consists of a set of lectures and practical hands-on sessions in
 which participants perform spatial and temporal analysis using 
Geographic Information System and Remote Sensing concepts. Although 
courses focuses on the command line instead of the graphical user 
interface, no prior experience with programming or command line 
interfaces is assumed or required.  To cater to students with prior 
programming experience, we will hold parallel sessions that introduce 
more advanced material. Our main focus is on teaching self learning and 
problem solving more than the use of specific tools (see<span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline">: </span><a href="http://www.spatial-ecology.net/giuseppe/publications/Amatulli_et_al_OGRS.pdf" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline">our teaching method</span></a>) so participants will be able to progress and adapt to learn the newest available data science techniques.  <span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS";color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:bold;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline"><br><br></span><b>Location:  15-20 June 2015 - Matera - Italy</b><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS";color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:bold;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline"><br><br></span>More info at<span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS";color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:bold;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline"> </span><a href="http://www.spatial-ecology.net" target="_blank">www.spatial-ecology.net</a>:</font><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:10pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align:justify"><font><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS";color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:bold;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline">Staff</span></font></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align:justify"><font><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline">Dr. Giuseppe Amatulli (</span><a href="http://sbsc.yale.edu/giuseppe-amatulli" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline">Yale University, USA</span></a><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline"> ; </span><a href="http://www.spatial-ecology.net" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline">www.spatial-ecology.net</span></a><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline">)</span></font></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align:justify"><font><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline">Dr. Stefano Casalegno (</span><a href="http://www.exeter.ac.uk/esi/people/casalegno/" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline">University of Exeter, UK</span></a><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline"> ; </span><a href="http://www.spatial-ecology.net" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline">www.spatial-ecology.net</span></a><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline">)</span></font></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align:justify"><font><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline">Dr. Pieter Kempeneers (</span><a href="https://vito.be/en/land-use" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline">VITO</sp
