The Royal Statistical Society's Lancashire and East Cumbria local group are
pleased to announce our next meeting:
Title: Global lake water quality, ecological systems and statistical
challenges
Presenter: Claire Miller (University of Glasgow)
Date: 16.00-17.00 on the 14th March 2019
Location: Lab 2, Postgraduate Statistical Centre, Lancaster University
Abstract:
The surface water quality for lakes and rivers is routinely monitored to
protect ecosystem, animal and human health and for compliance reporting to
policymakers.
Current monitoring strategies enable measurements of water quality
determinands to be obtained through satellite observations, automatic
monitoring sensors and to be available in-situ at hundreds of spatial
locations over time. There is a wealth of data available, which can provide
novel information on the status of ecosystems with appropriate statistical
analysis.
However, the data present several challenges for statistical modelling
including the data dimensionality, missing data, calibration and validation
and complex ecosystem interactions and connectivity. This talk will explore
some of these statistical challenges with applications including global
lake water quality and freshwater connected ecosystems.
The talk will be followed by a wine reception.
