Research Seminar by Dr. McKenna
December 7, 2016 @ 10:15 am - 11:15 pm
Dr. McKenna is this year’s Distinguished Lecturer of the International Association for Mathematical Geosciences (IAMG). He is coming to Jena following an invitation by Prof. Brenning (Geographic Information Science) on behalf of the MSCJ. He will give a talk on ‘Mapping the Significance of El Nino/La Nina Impacts on Vegetation Patterns in the Amazon Basin’.
Abstract:
The detection of spatio-temporal patterns in climate-induced vegetation changes constitutes a methodological challenge that is at the center of a research seminar by Dr. Sean A. McKenna, IBM Research (Dublin). Using ENSO-related vegetation patterns in the Amazon basin as his case study, Dr. McKenna introduces novel geostatistical methods that he developed with his group in order to address this challenging problem. All interested are welcome to attend.
