When: Tuesday, September 30, 11am - noon

Where: Durham 171

Abstract: 
For several decades, the Office of Research and Development, US EPA,
has engaged in joint and co-operative research with universities on a 
range of topics, including environmental statistics. This talk will
give examples of past and current research initiatives, including the
National Research Center for Statistics and the Environment, a 
co-operative project between the EPA and the National Institute of
Statistical Sciences on modeling ozone  concentrations in the Chicago
area, and the co-operative agreement between ISU and the EPA. The
current program will be briefly outlined and other emerging research 
problems in environmetrics that may be the focus of joint research by 
the EPA and universities in the future will also be discussed.
