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.

The blue statistical distributions in scientific work series is also on the
silver jubilee sale for $15
per volume.  And you may like to know of our cross-disciplinary journal,
Environmental and
Ecological Statistics, now in the fourth year already.  Feel free to
continue to use this novel and
innovative publication forum for your research and/or subscription.

Nominations are also invited for distinguished statistical ecologist
awards.  You are welcome to
participate.

See you in Florence if not before!

International Ecological Congress and the Distinguished Statistical
Ecologist Awards

The Statistical Ecology Working Group of the International Association for
Ecology (INTECOL) planned a substantive celebration of the Statistical
Ecology Silver Jubilee on the first morning of the Sixth International
Congress of Ecology held in Manchester, United Kingdom during August 1994
under the leadership of G. P. Patil and J.N.R. Jeffers.  The  celebration
consisted of the Inaugural Session of the Congress Program on Frontiers of
Statistical Ecology and Ecological Statistics.  The celebration included a
Distinguished Statistical Ecologist Awards Ceremony, an Invited Panel
Discussion on Challenges and Directions in Statistical Ecology for Year
2000 and the Silver Jubilee Reception in the Penthouse at the top of a
building for the Congress that offered impressive views over Manchester and
the Pennines.  Professor Dr. Wolfgang Haber, President, INTECOL and
Professor George Knox, a former President, participated in the ceremonies.
President Haber presented the awards and paid glowing tributes.  Professor
Patil was the master of ceremonies.

The distinguished statistical ecologist awards were initiated in 1986  at
the Syracuse Congress Plenary Session on Statistical Ecology by the INTECOL
Statistical  Ecology Working Group.  Professor G. P. Patil was the  first
recipient.
At the 1990 Congress in Yokohama, four awards were made.  Richard C.
Hennemuth, J.N.R. Jeffers, E. C. Pielou, and William E. Waters were the
distinguished recipients.  Largely to highlight and emphasize the
cross-disciplinary focus of statistical ecology and ecological statistics,
the INTECOL Statistical Ecology Working Group has initiated the
distinguished statistical ecologist awards.  The awards focus on
distinguished contributions made by academic, governmental and industrial
scientists, working on problems in statistical ecology and/or  ecological
statistics.  Young investigator awards intended to encourage greater
participation and study in statistics, ecology, and the environment are
also integral features of this initiative.

The 1994 awards were primarily made in recognition of
(i) outstanding contributions to the development of methods, issues,
concepts, applications, and the initiatives of statistical ecology and/or
ecological statistics; and (ii) foundational effort leading to the
formulation of an important area of statistical ecology and/or ecological
statistics.
The awards committee consisted of: J.N.R. Jeffers (UK), S. Kobayashi (Japan),
G. P. Patil (Chair, USA), E. C. Pielou (Canada), and W. E. Waters (USA).
On the special occasion of  the Silver Jubilee, twenty five awards were made
at the hands of the INTECOL President.

AIMS AND SCOPE Environmental and Ecological Statistics publishes papers
on practical applications of statistics and related quantitative methods
to environmental sciences addressing contemporary environmental issues.
Emphasis will be on applied mathematical statistics, statistical
methodology, and data interpretation and improvement for future use with
a view to advance statistics for environment, ecology and environmental
health, and to advance environmental theory and practice using valid
statistics.  Besides clarity of exposition, a single most important
criterion for publication will be the appropriateness of the statistical
method to the particular environmental problem.  The Journal will cover
all aspects of the collection, analysis, presentation, and
interpretation of environmental data for research, policy, and
regulation.  The Journal is expected to be a forum for communication for
a broad community of scholars, field workers, and policy makers.  The
Journal is cross-disciplinary within the context of contemporary
environmental issues and the associated statistical tools, concepts, and
methods.  The Journal will broadly cover theory and methods, case
studies and applications, environmental change and statistical ecology,
environmental health statistics and stochastics, and related areas.
Special features include invited discussion papers; research
communications; technical notes and consultation corner; mini-reviews;
letters to the Editor; news, views, and announcements; hardware and
software reviews; data management; etc.

ABOUT THE COVER DESIGN Conceptualized by G. P. Patil for Statistical
Ecology and Environmental Statistics and designed by Yeshwant Chaudhary,
the symbol design has won a first-place award in a Communication
Artists' Guild.  The symbol design visualizes the graphic concept of the
Earth and establishes the harmonious environment between humankind and
ecological beings in statistical symbols.  Interesting still is the
rhythm achieved between the gradation of spaces and the thickness of
lines weaving through each other into a total structural harmony.  This
symbol is appreciated world over for the design thinking that has gone
into its expressing the message of statistical ecology and environmental
statistics.
