Dear Colleagues, I would be grateful if you considered submitting an abstract for the next EGU2017 (Vienna, Austria, 23-28 April 2017) to the session SSS12.11/GM3.7: “Learning from spatial data: unveiling the geo-environment through quantitative approaches”, conveners: S. Trevisani, M. Cavalli , I. Bogunović , J. Golay and P. Pereira.
*Abstract submission (deadline–11 Jan 2017*, 13:00 CET, charge 40 €): http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2017/abstractsubmission/23333 For further information on the session write to S. Trevisani: strevis...@iuav.it or look at: http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2017/session/23333 *Important!!!* For Scientists who wish to apply *for financial support* (Early Career Scientist ECSTS and Established Scientist ESTS*) the deadline is set on the 1st of December 2016*!!! For further information on the possibility of financial support, go to: http://egu2017.eu/financial_support.html Overview: Spatial and spatiotemporal data are crucial for the analysis and modelling of the processes of interest in Earth and Soil Sciences. Such data require advanced mathematical, statistical and geomorphometric methodologies in order to fully exploit their informative content. The session aims to explore the challenges and potentialities of quantitative spatial data analysis and modelling in the context of Earth and Soil Sciences. In particular, the session will cover two main topics (to which it is no limited!) 1) Analysis of sparse (fragmentary) spatial data for mapping purposes with evaluation of spatial uncertainty: geostatistics, machine learning, statistical learning theory, etc. 2) Analysis and representation of exhaustive spatial data at different scales and resolutions: geomorphometry, image analysis, pattern recognition, etc. Studies presenting intuitive and applied mathematical/numerical approaches and highlighting their key potentialities and limitations are highly solicited. Besides, the possibility to publish a special issue on the session in an international journal will also be evaluated.
