WyGISC's Friday Seminar Series

Use and Limitations of Geospatial Statistics in Soil Ecology

Presented by:
Caley Gasch Salava
Doctoral Student, RENEWABLE RESOURCES

Most soil research utilizes conventional, frequentist statistics to describe trends in soil characteristics; yet, sometimes the variability in soil is also of interest. While geospatial analysis provides valuable information on patterns and trends, it has challenges and constraints. This topic will be explored through a case study where we established and implemented a spatial sampling design in reclaimed and reference soils.
 

WyGISC Geospatial Forums are scheduled on Fridays from 12:00p.m. - 1:00p.m. The next forum, scheduled for November 13h, will feature Dr. Snehalata Huzurbazar, Associate Professor, Statistics and Ms. Caley Salava, Renewable Resources. Please feel free to bring your lunch to our forums. For more information, please visit the WyGISC web site at: http://www.uwyo.edu/wygisc.
