Thank you Milan for sharing this info. It is great to see the amazing work you all are doing in Belgrade in Climate Science.

Best wishes,

Suchith

Subject: [Ica-osgeo-labs] The first call for GeoMLA workshop and conference

Dear colleagues,


In the period 21-24 June 2016, we are organizing an International
conference and a series of workshops entitled:

"GeoMLA: Geostatistics and Machine Learning Applications in Climate
and Environmental Sciences".

Location: University of Belgrade - Faculty of Civil Engineering Belgrade, Serbia

URL: http://geomla.org

This conference builds up on the previous DailyMeteo meeting
(http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/22116753/14/part/PA)
that has focused on Spatio-temporal modeling of meteo data. Likewise,
the GeoMLA conference and workshops in Belgrade 2016 aim at bringing
together leading researchers in the field of Climate/Environmental
modeling, detection and analysis, and especially those focusing on
bridging gaps between Geostatistics and Machine Learning
methods/techniques for use in Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences.


The meeting will open with three parallel workshops (21-22 June 2016)
run as software tutorials:

- Mikhail Kanevski: "Machine learning of geospatial data: achievements
and new trends"

- Tomislav Hengl: "Automated mapping in 2D, 3D, and 2D+T using machine learning"

- Milan Kilibarda: "Spatial and spatio-temporal prediction and
visualisation of climate elements in R"


These workshops will be accompanied by the demonstrations and
practicals (hands-on-software training) using topo-climatic, pollution
and natural hazards real data case studies.

After the workshops we will run a two-days conference (23-24 June
2016) with several keynote speakers / leading researchers in the
field:


- prof. dr. Mikhail Kanevski, Universite de Lausanne, Faculté des
géosciences et de l'environnement, Lausanne, Switzerland

- prof. dr. Wolfgang Wagner, Technical University of Wien, Department
of Geodesy and geoinformation

- dr. Ivana Cvijanović, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, CA USA

- dr. Ole Einar Tveito, Norwegian Meteorological Institute,
Climatology Division, Oslo Norway

- Dr. Andreas Papritz, ETH Zurich, , Department of Environmental Systems Science


The conference sessions will include topics on advances in climate
science, modeling of climate data, spatio-temporal climate variations,
meteo data sets, as well as geostatistical and machine learning
applications in climate science, spatial interpolation of climate
data, climate mapping.


Contributions will be published in the conference proceedings and
distributed at the conference. A selection of extended abstracts will
be invited for submission in a special issue.


All other information about the conference can be found at: http://geomla.org


IMPORTANT DEADLINES:


March 1st 2016 - abstract submission

April 15 th 2016 - early registration deadline


We are looking forward to seeing you in Belgrade!
