Dear Gregoire and all,
Thanks for changing the rule! Just in time, the abstract submission for SESEH 2012 (http://www.nuigalway.ie/seseh2012 <http://www.nuigalway.ie/seseh2012/> ) is open today. In SESEH 2012, there is a session “GIS and quantitative methods” which should be interesting to the AI-GEOSTATS community. In this session, I am especially interested in contributions in “GIS analyses”, “spatial analyses”, and “geostatistical analyses” of environment and/or health. Best regards, Chaosheng --------------- *** Apologies for cross-posting *** Call for abstracts: SESEH 2012 (http://www.nuigalway.ie/seseh2012 <http://www.nuigalway.ie/seseh2012/> ) Dear colleague, The 2012 Sino-European Symposium on Environment and Health (SESEH 2012, Galway, Ireland, Aug 20-25, 2012) is now calling for abstracts. The aim of SESEH 2012 is to promote collaborations with China (大会宗旨:架设中国与世界沟通的桥梁 ). The SESEH 2012 provides an internationally leading platform for interaction between scientists, consultants, and public servants engaged in the multi-disciplinary areas of environment and health. With the fast economic growth, the importance of environment and health is widely recognized in China, and China welcomes international experts for collaboration. This symposium provides an opportunity for a direct communication between experts from China and the rest of the world, and helps to foster and develop international collaborations with China, the 2nd largest economy of the world. The conference venue is the campus of National University of Ireland, Galway, within walking distance of Galway’s city centre. The conference is co-organized by GIS Centre, Ryan Institute of NUI Galway (http://www.ryaninstitute.ie/facilities/gis-facility <http://www.ryaninstitute.ie/facilities/gis-facility/> ), The Geographical Society of China (www.gsc.org.cn) and Environmental Sciences Association of Ireland (ISAI, www.esaiweb.org), supported by Ryan Institute of NUI Galway (www.ryaninstitute.ie), Society for Environmental Geochemistry and Health (SEGH, www.segh.net), International Medical Geology Association (IMGA, www.medicalgeology.org), Geographical Society of Ireland (www.ucd.ie/gsi), Ireland Chinese Association of Environment, Resources & Energy (ICAERE, www.icaere.ie), National Centre for Geocomputation (ncg.nuim.ie), South China Institute of Environmental Sciences (http://www.scies.org/en) and Chinese Environmental Scholars & Professionals Network (http://www.cespn.net/english). SESEH 2012 Themes: Ø Environmental sciences: chemistry, geochemistry, biogeochemistry, ecology and toxicology Ø Environmental pollution: air, water (river, lake, and marine), soil, and food Ø Environmental pollutants: metals and metalloids; persistent organic pollutants and pesticides Ø Environmental technologies: soil remediation; waste water treatment Ø Environmental management and monitoring: social impact assessment, economics and policies Ø Medical geology, endemic diseases, environmental health and public health Ø Links between environment and health, environment and genetic interaction Ø GIS and quantitative methods in environment and population health Ø Sustainable development and health: agriculture, industry, traffic, urbanization Ø Climate change and population health SESEH 2012 Keynote Speakers: Professor Ming-Hung Wong (Ming-Hong Huang), Editor-in-chief: Environmental Geochemistry and Health Professor Shu Tao: Member of Chinese Academy of Sciences Professor Xiaoying Zheng: Peking University Professor Derek Clements-Croome: University of Reading Professor Jerome Nriagu: Editor-in-chief: Science of the Total Environment SESEH 2012 Convenors and Topics for Organized Sessions: (When submitting abstracts via the online system, ordinary delegates are required to choose the most appropriate general topic listed on the system.
