Description:

Objective:

The Center for Integrating Statistical and Environmental Science (CISES) will support research in the development of new statistical methods for addressing environmental problems and for integrating the use of statistics throughout the process of risk assessment. The main objective of this research project is to advance the use of statistical methods to assess the state of the physical environment and its impact on human and ecological health. Specific research problems of the Center's initial projects include investigating the relationship between air pollution and respiratory illnesses, statistical design and analysis for estimating trends in environmental indicators, approaches to combining numerical models and statistical methods, quasi-experimentation to assess the relationship between infant mortality and particulate air pollution, and development of stochastic models and model selection procedures for complex ecological systems. The other objective of this research project is to educate a new generation of environmental statisticians and statistically sophisticated environmental scientists.
