Workshop on Climate and Weather Extremes

气候和极端天气研讨会将于2016年10月23日至25日在宾夕法尼亚州州立大学举行。这个讲习班将有两个相互补充的目的。首先是向研究生以及其他希望进入极值分析领域的人介绍研究罕见事件所特有的技术和挑战。第二是为统计学家、大气和气候科学家提供一个交流思想和促进合作的场所，旨在了解罕见的、高影响的气候和天气事件。研讨会的第一天将有一个关于极端天气统计的介绍性短期课程，由科罗拉多州立大学的Dan Cooley教授。接下来的两天将重点讨论统计方法和与极端相关的应用。这些讲座将包括几位研究人员，他们不是经过培训的统计学家，而是深入研究气候和极端天气及其影响。最后，在10月24日（星期一）晚上将有一个海报会议。欲了解更多信息，请访问https://sites.psu.edu/statmos/。

The Workshop on Climate and Weather Extremes will be held in State College, PA, October 23-25, 2016. This workshop will serve two complementary purposes. The first is to introduce graduate students, as well as others wishing to enter into the area of extreme value analysis, to the techniques and challenges that are unique to studying rare events. The second is to provide a venue for statisticians and atmospheric and climate scientists to share ideas and facilitate collaboration aimed at understanding rare, high-impact climate and weather events.The first day of the workshop will feature an introductory short course on the statistics of extremes, taught by Dan Cooley of Colorado State University. The following two days will feature research talks on statistical methodology and applications related to extremes. These talks will include several by researchers who are not statisticians by training but are deeply involved in studying climate and weather extremes and their impact. Finally, there will be a poster session on the evening of Monday, October 24. For more information, please visit https://sites.psu.edu/statmos/.
