Dear TIES members,
I am delighted to bring you some recent news from TIES. It’s been a very productive start to the year with lots of updates below. As usual if you have any questions or ideas for future TIES events/activities please feel free to contact president@environmetrics.org or secretary@environmetrics.org.
Abdel El-Shaarawi Early Investigator (AEEI) award:
Huge congratulations to the 2024 TIES Abdel El-Shaarawi Early Investigator (AEEI) award winner: Associate Professor Ephraim Hanks from The Pennsylvania State University.
Ephraim has received the award from this year’s TIES AEEI award committee (consisting of Profs: Arup Bose, Michela Cameletti and Stefano Castruccio).
‘For outstanding contributions to environmental statistics, especially in the field of ecology; for key methodological developments in spatial and spatio-temporal statistics; for strong interdisciplinary work especially in modelling animal movement; for extensive and continued support to the field of environmental statistics.’
We are hoping that Ephraim will be able to present on the work and receive the award certificate at the TIES 2024 conference in Adelaide, Australia in December.
TIES 2024 Conference
The International Environmetrics Society Conference (TIES 2024) will be held 2 - 5 December 2024 at the Mawson Lakes Campus of the University of South Australia, Adelaide, Australia. The registration for the conference and call for invited sessions and contributed papers are all open, please see the conference website for more information. The call for invited paper sessions has been extended but is closing shortly and so if you will not make the deadline and would still like to submit a session then please let us know: Contact us.
We look forward to meeting many friends, and making many new friends, in Adelaide in December.
Committees:
Many thanks to everyone that has volunteered to be part of our TIES committees. Over the next few months, we’ll announce the members of the awards committee, outreach and liaison committee, membership committee, mentorship committee, webinar committee and website committee.
The committees are already (and have been) actively working on TIES awards, plans for events with other societies, plans to help recruit new members, plans to update our webpages and plans for future webinar events.
Mentorship:
This year we have launched a trial for an early career mentorship programme within TIES. We are currently seeking mentors in particular; this is to provide short online meetings with general advice for people at an early career stage. If you would like more information or would like to consider volunteering, please contact: mentorship@environmetrics.org.
TIES AGM
Finally, some advance notice that we are planning for this year’s AGM to take place as part of the TIES conference in Adelaide. If you have any specific items for the agenda, please contact: secretary@environmetrics.org
Many best wishes to you all,
Claire Miller
