This award will provide support to facilitate the involvement of scholars from a broad range of research communities and nations to participate in the Spatial Accuracy 2014 conference, which will be held in July 2014 in East Lansing, Michigan. Spatial Accuracy 2014 will be the 11th in a series of international symposia that have focused on topics of uncertainty in environmental data and model. Theoretical, methodological, software, and instructional advancements shared at Spatial Accuracy 2014 will allow current and future practitioners to draw valid inference about large and complex systems through a number of different lines of inquiry, including assimilating disparate sources and types of data; accommodating spatial and temporal dependence to satisfy statistical model assumptions and improve predictive inference; partitioning and propagating sources of uncertainty through fine spatial scale predictions over large domains and; scaling to effectively exploit information in massive datasets. The exchange of knowledge at the conference will advance scientific practice and interdisciplinary collaboration extending from geography and the spatial sciences to many other fields in the natural and social sciences, engineering, and the humanities. The conference will provide excellent education and networking opportunities for students, post-doctoral scholars, and early-career researchers, and international collaboration will be enhanced because of special emphasis being placed on the involvement of scholars from developing nations. Although the majority of conference participants will be from academic organizations, methodological advances that deal more effectively with uncertainty and error ultimately will lead to improved models used in a diverse range of settings by public, private, and other groups.This award will expand participation in the Spatial Accuracy 2014 conference by providing partial support for travel to and lodging at the conference for up to fifty scholars, including graduate students, early-career researchers, and scholars from developing nations. Special efforts will be made to highlight a number of exciting cutting-edge findings from this set of national and international participants, and special activities will ensure their full engagement in the conference. Because papers in the conference proceedings, all of which will be peer-reviewed to ensure high quality, will be freely disseminated via the Internet, the all participants and other scientists will be able to benefit from the enhanced scientific and technological understanding that will result.

该奖项将提供支持，以促进来自广泛研究社区和国家的学者参与2014年空间精度会议，该会议将于2014年7月在密歇根州东兰辛举行。2014年空间精确度将是聚焦于环境数据和模型中的不确定性主题的一系列国际研讨会中的第11个。在2014年空间精度大会上分享的理论、方法、软件和教学方面的进步将使当前和未来的实践者能够通过一系列不同的调查路线对大型和复杂系统做出有效的推断，包括吸收不同的数据源和类型；适应空间和时间相关性以满足统计模型假设并改进预测推理；通过在大范围内进行精细的空间尺度预测来划分和传播不确定性源；并进行扩展以有效地利用海量数据集中的信息。会议上的知识交流将推动科学实践和跨学科合作，从地理学和空间科学延伸到自然科学和社会科学、工程和人文科学的许多其他领域。这次会议将为学生、博士后学者和职业生涯初期的研究人员提供极好的教育和联网机会，由于特别重视发展中国家学者的参与，国际合作将得到加强。虽然大多数会议参与者将来自学术组织，但更有效地处理不确定性和错误的方法进步最终将导致公共、私人和其他团体在不同环境中使用的改进模型。该奖项将通过为多达50名学者(包括研究生、职业生涯早期研究人员和来自发展中国家的学者)提供出席会议和住宿的部分支持，扩大对2014年空间精度会议的参与。将特别努力突出这一组国家和国际与会者的一些令人振奋的前沿发现，并将开展特别活动，以确保他们充分参与会议。由于会议记录中的论文将通过互联网自由传播，所有这些论文都将经过同行审查，以确保高质量，因此所有与会者和其他科学家将能够受益于由此产生的增进对科学和技术的了解。
