SEES EarthWeek
Special Sessions
This year, the LTRR is hosting a series of interdisciplinary sessions based on specific topics. Each of these oral presentation sessions will take place on Wednesday, March 28, in the Rincon Room of the Student Union. See the program summary for the session times, or the full EarthWeek program (PDF) for more details.
- GIS and Spatial Analysis
- Presentations that contain a substantial component of spatial analysis, geovisualization, or GIS on any research topic are welcome in this session.
- Hazards, Fire, and Drought
- Changing climate and altered disturbance regimes have reshaped risk and hazards in a number of ways. This session seeks abstracts that address risk and hazards as well as those that cover vulnerability and adaptation to risk and hazard.
- Large Dataset Management
- Large datasets pose unique problems for researchers in terms of data management, processing, analysis, and archiving. Emerging tools and techniques support efficient use and manipulation of large datasets. Papers in this session should cover not only research and results but should also discuss ways for handling large, complex datasets.
- Modeling and Empirics
- This session welcomes abstracts that blend empirical research methods with modeling in any form and on any topic. Empirics can be used to parameterize models, models can be used to expand empirical data, and the relationship between the two can be even more complex.
- Research Serving Society
- This session will feature papers that are related to any issue of pertinence to society at large.
