INVITED SPEAKER:
Dr. Michael Shaw, Reader in Plant Disease Epidemiology,
School of Plant Sciences, The University of Reading, UK:
Simulation and analysis of spatial pattern formation at
multiple scales in relation to plausible dispersal kernels
A 24-hours workshop on dispersal models with applications in agriculture will be held on October 21-22, 2003 at Brorfelde Observatory Complex starting with lunch Tuesday. There will be plenty of time for informal discussion after the evening session as participants will be housed at Brorfelde.
We invite talks on dispersal models and their use in agricultural research, both in plant sciences and veterinary sciences. Examples of areas of applications are spread of plant diseases, spread of pollen and spead of animal diseases. Presentations along the lines of mathematical models, statistical analysis of dispersal experiments and simulation models and more are all welcome. We plan to have time for in-depth presentations and discussion by most of the participants.
This is a call for presentations. If you work with dispersal models applied to agriculture or forestry and would like to make a presentation at the workshop, please get in touch with Morten Larsen at ml@dina.kvl.dk with a proposed title for a talk before October 1st (you will be required to supply an abstract later).
If you are interested in participating in the workshop or in receiving further information when available please drop a line to Morten Larsen at ml@dina.kvl.dk.
Please forward this announcement to anyone you know of who could be interested in the workshop!
When the programme is in place it will be posted at http://www.dina.kvl.dk/~ml/itcoord/Workshop2003/. Abstracts will also be posted there when they become available.
On behalf of the organizers,
