The purpose of
this symposium is to introduce and expand upon those areas of spatial
models and spatial statistical methods that support and contribute to the
Agricultural, Civil Engineering, Environmental, and Survey industries.
This is the third in an ongoing series of workshops and symposia sponsored
by two interdisciplinary groups; the University of California Kearney Ag
Center and the NCWC GIS Users Group. Also supporting this particular
symposium are ESRI and Napa Valley College.
Currently we have
various presentations on disease source and spread distributions, soils
and irrigation models along with a presentation by Konstantin
Krivoruchko, Ph.D., from ESRI on use of Spatial Statistics in GIS data
exploration and model building. Dr. Krivoruchko is the Product Manager for
the ESRI Geostatistical Analyst extension and author of the ESRI 3-volume
series on the use and application Spatial Statistics in GIS models.
We welcome more
presenters, given the need to supplement the roster with some
presentations from the Civil and Municipal Land Planning Sector.
Tentative Civil and Survey presentations to date include specialized
surface models for machine control, underground flow models based on
thiessen polygon driven flow volumetrics with geocoding and complex
erosion control models in ArcView/ArcGIS.
Refreshments and
Lunch will be included BOTH days. There will be a wine and cheese "round
table" with the presenters on Friday afternoon.
Early registration
is at a discounted rate. Please register EARLY so that we can plan for
meals and such.
