Subject: [OSGeo-Announce] Summer School on spatial and spatiotemporal computing: processing large-scale Earth observation (IfGI, University of Münster, Sept 1–7, 2019)

Registrations for the 2019 Summer School on spatial and spatiotemporal
computing: processing large-scale Earth observation (University of
Münster, Sept 1–7, 2019) are now open. For more info see:

https://opengeohub.org/summer_school_2019

Registration deadline: 15th of February 2019 24:00 CET.

This summer school is limited to 65 participants. In the case of higher
number of applications invitations candidates will be selected based on
a ranking system, which is based on: solidarity, academic output and
contributions to the open source projects. To remove geographical bias,
participants coming from more distant areas have a priority on the
rankings list.

Lecturers:
- Edzer Pebesma: Analyzing large amounts of Earth Observation data with
R and openEO
- Roger Bivand: Not just R-spatial: sustaining open source geospatial
software stacks / Data, data everywhere, nor any drop to analyse
(without making brave assumptions about how the data represent
underlying processes)
- Michael Sumner: Computer graphics data structures for geo-spatial /
Building a data library and R toolkit for domain-specific research group
/ Challenges of working with data in polar regions
- Markus Neteler: Cloud based processing of geo and Earth observation
data / Introduction to GRASS GIS / Advanced data analysis in GRASS GIS
- Veronica Andreo: Analysis of space-time satellite data for disease
ecology applications with GRASS GIS and R stats / Analyzing space-time
satellite data with GRASS GIS for environmental monitoring
- Martijn Tennekes: Creating thematic maps in R (tmap package)
- Tomislav Hengl: Computing with large rasters in R: introduction to
tiling and parallelization / Spatial and Spatiotemporal prediction using
ensemble Machine Learning
- Hanna Meyer: Machine learning strategies for spatio-temporal data
- Anita Graser: Analyzing movement data
- Madlene Nussbaum: Mastering machine learning for spatial prediction -
overview and introduction in methods / model selection and
interpretation, uncertainty
- Meng Lu: Assessment of global air pollution exposure

Dates:
- February 15th 2019 — Registration deadline;
- Mid March 2019 — All invitation letters send to applicants;
- May 15th 2019 — Deadline for settling registration fees (working
