Call for Papers
Submission start date: December 1, 2024
Submission deadline: April 1, 2025
This special issue focuses on new statistical methodologies that can help overcoming some complex environmental problems. The need for more advanced statistical techniques for analysing and predicting these problems is of crucial importance in several key environmental issues, e.g. pollution, extreme weather, public health crises.
Contributions are invited on a wide range of statistical methods related to spatial and temporal modelling, point processes, machine learning, causal inference in space and time, data assimilation, uncertainty quantification, and risk assessment. This special issue will highlight applications that have direct relevance to modern environmental problems, particularly those that incorporate spatial or spatial-temporal data.
The goal of this issue is to highlight cutting-edge research to provide new insights into such complex issues surrounding the environmental challenges facing humans in today’s world.
Topics for this call for papers include but not restricted to:
- Spatial-Temporal Modeling of Air Pollution and its Health Impacts
- Machine Learning for Predicting Extreme Environmental Events
- Causal Inference in Environmental Epidemiology
- Data Assimilation Techniques for Climate Change Projections
- Uncertainty Quantification in Ecosystem Risk Assessments
- Bayesian Approaches to Climate Risk
- Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Water Resources under Climate Stress
- Impact of Environmental Policies: A Causal Analysis
- Risk Modeling for Coastal Erosion and Sea-Level Rise
- Estimation and assessment of spatial-temporal point process models for earthquake forecasting
