Workshop on Risk Analysis for Extremes in the Earth System

“地球系统极端事件风险分析研讨会”将于2019年7月22日至24日在加州伯克利的劳伦斯·伯克利国家实验室举行。这一讲习班将起到两个相辅相成的作用。第一个是为统计学家和地球科学家提供一个交流思想和促进合作的场所，旨在了解地球系统中罕见的、高影响的事件。第二个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独有的技术和挑战。讲习班的第一天将有两个短期课程，一个是关于极端事件统计分析的当代进展，另一个是关于使用Nimble和Climate extRemes软件进行数据分析。接下来的两天将举行关于极端事件的统计方法和应用的研究讲座，以及关于极端事件在地球系统中的科学和影响的讲座。这些讲座将包括统计和与地球科学相关领域的研究人员的几次演讲。最后，将在7月23日星期二晚上举行海报发布会。有关更多信息，请参阅https://cascade.lbl.gov/upcoming-workshops-conferences/This奖项，该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并已通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The "Workshop on Risk Analysis for Extremes in the Earth System" will take place at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab in Berkeley, Califirnia, on July 22-24, 2019. This workshop will serve two complementary purposes. The first is to provide a venue for statisticians and Earth scientists to share ideas and facilitate collaboration aimed at understanding rare, high-impact events in the Earth system. The second 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 first day of the workshop will feature a pair of short courses, one on contemporary advances in statistical analysis of extreme events, and the second on using the NIMBLE and climextRemes software for data analysis. The following two days will feature research talks on statistical methodology and applications related to extremes, as well as talks on the science and impacts of extreme events in the Earth system. These talks will include several by researchers in both statistics and fields related to Earth science. Finally, there will be a poster session on the evening of Tuesday, July 23.
