New Environmetric Research Center Opens in Pacific Northwest

摘要

The Pacific Institute of Mathematical Sciences, one of three mathematical sciences institutes in Canada, awarded 200,000 Canadian dollars to a consortium of universities planning a multisite research center in environmetrics. The focus of the collaborative research group, funded for two years, is georisk and climate change. The project started with a joint workshop with 75 participants in Semiahmoo, just south of the U.S.Canadian border, on January 23—24.rnThe principal investigators of the proposal are Charmaine Dean, Simon Fraser University; Sylvia Esterby, University of British Columbia-Okanagan; Peter Guttorp, University of Washington; and Jim Zidek, University of British Columbia-Vancouver. Other participants come from the University of Victoria, Washington State University, and University of Calgary.
