Special Year
The MSRVP Special Year for 2000 was in Statistics, and included a workshop on the analysis of spatio-temporal data. Overseas invited speakers included Professors Lynne Billard, of the University of Georgia, Yoshihiko Ogata, of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics in Tokyo, George Tiao, of the University of Chicago, and Chris Wilkie, of the University of Missouri and the US National Centre for Atmospheric Research. The very successful workshop brought together these foreign scientists and their Australian colleagues working in a variety of related fields, many of major strategic importance to the country. These included statistical modelling for weather forecasting, environmental modelling using remotely sensed satellite data, and a variety of modelling problems applied to populations of fauna and flora. Australian participants in the Special Year included scientists working in CSIRO, state government agencies, and private industry, as well as universities.
