An international symposium, Environmental Information Management and Analysis: Ecosystem to Global Scales, will be held at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, May 20-22, 1993. Sponsored by a grant from the National Science Foundation, the symposium will be hosted by James W. Brunt (SEV), William K. Michener (John W. Jones Ecological Research Center), and Susan G. Stafford (AND). The program will include interdisciplinary discussions of long-term and broad-scale environmental research efforts, relevant technologies, and future directions for data management and analysis.
Technical sessions will focus on geographic information systems, scientific database design and management, and analytical approaches to addressing questions at ecosystem to global scales. Formal papers will be presented by invited speakers, I ding scientists from a variety of disciplines, including ecology, geography, computer science, remote sensing, and statistics.
Relevant special topics will be addressed in both formal and informal sessions. The primary objectives of the symposium are to identify state-of-the-art technologies for managing and analyzing environmental data and to facilitate future and long-term and broad-scale research efforts.
