January 7-10, 2005, Rosenstiel Campus
The
purpose of the Institute is to address the urgent need for focusing the
combined intellect of mathematicians, computer scientists, and ecologists
on significant ecological and environmental problems in both the pure and
applied realms in terrestrial, marine, and tropical ecosystems. The Institute
aims to create a distinctive intellectual environment in which the traditional
gulf between mathematical and empirical ecology is overcome. The aim of
the conference is to bring together approximately 50 leading researchers
in various aspects of spatial ecology ranging from the very mathematical
and theoretical to the very empirical and data driven for four days of spirited
interaction.
