It is nice to be in touch regarding the proposed program on Frontiers of
Statistical Ecology with Environmental Statistics for Cost-Effective
Ecological Synthesis and Environmental Analysis at the forthcoming Seventh
International Congress of Ecology sponsored by the International
Association for Ecology in Florence, Italy during July 19-25, 1998.
Web page http://www.tamnet.it/intecol.98 provides the full details on the
congress and its scientific program. Several of us have found the Congress
theme and the planned program extremely timely and inviting. You may also!
Some of your friends and colleagues might!
For purposes of organization, the Statistical Ecology Group has identified
the following symposia and workshops for special emphasis: (1) statistical
methods for spatial data in ecology; (2) ecological time series analysis;
(3) spatial processes and scaling: merging field data collection methods
and modeling; and (4) quantitative analysis of territorial geospatial
data: multiscale ecological
assessment and sampling design; etc.
You are invited to participate. Sessions at the Congress will be put
together in the days ahead, based on both invited and contributed papers.
You are also welcome to participate in any symposium or workshop of the
Congress.
Should you like to participate, please feel free to contact me
or any member of the program committee as listed in the attached
informational announcement. Should you like to take advantage of the very
special silver jubilee sale of the green statistical ecology series for $15
per volume, please contact the publisher direct. The volumes could be a
fine addition to you personal library or they could also be valuable gift
items to your students or colleagues and friends.
See you in Florence if not before!

SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF ECOLOGY
Florence, Italy, July 19-25, 1998
Frontiers of Statistical Ecology with Environmental Statistics
The Statistical Ecology Working Group of the International Association for
Ecology has planned to have a substantive program on frontiers of
statistical ecology with environmental statistics at the Seventh
International Congress of Ecology to be held in Florence, Italy during July
19-25, 1998. Distinguished Statistical Ecologist Awards are also planned
at a special ceremony and reception.
The INTECOL Statistical Ecology Working Group has also a Program Committee
with initial members: Jack Blondell (France); Harold Burkhart (USA); Brian
Dennis (USA); Phillip Dixon (USA); Enrico Feoli (Italy); Jessica Gurevitch
(USA); Pierre Legendre (Canada); Bai-Lian Li (USA); B. F. J Manly (New
Zealand); James H. Matis (USA); Laszlo Orloci (Canada); J. N. Perry (UK);
Orazio Rossi (Italy); and Wolfgang Urfer (Germany). The Program Committee
Chair is:
