The Workshop on Bayesian Environmetrics will serve as the next biennial workshop of the Section on Statistics and the Environment (ENVR) of the American Statistical Association (ASA) and the first meeting of the new Section on Environmental Sciences (EnviBayes) of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis (ISBA). The workshop will bring together environmetricians from across the world to discuss state-of-the-art Bayesian statistical methods applied to problems ranging from climate sciences to ecology to environmental health to natural resources management. The aim is to have a diverse collection of participants from academia, government, and industry, with a large number of students and junior researchers in attendance. The workshop will be held at the Blackwell Inn and Conference Center on the campus of The Ohio State University. A short course on Dynamic Space-Time Modeling will be offered by Chris Wikle on Thursday afternoon.
