FINAL CALL FOR PARTICIPATION -- The Third International Workshop on
Climate Informatics
*We invite all researchers interested in the field of climate
informatics to join us, whether established in the field or just
starting out, whether presenting their work or just enjoying the
**tutorials, invited talks, panel discussions, posters and break-out
sessions.

WORKSHOP DETAILS:
September 26 - 27, 2013
Hosted by the National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder,
Colorado

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
The amount of observational and model-simulated data within the climate
sciences has grown at an accelerating rate since the early 1980s. The
increasing amount of available data creates many opportunities for
researchers in machine learning and statistics to partner with climate
scientists in the development of new methods for interdisciplinary
knowledge discovery.
Climate informatics broadly refers to any research combining climate
science with approaches from statistics, machine learning and data
mining. The Climate Informatics workshop series, now in its third year,
seeks to bring together researchers from all of these areas. We aim to
stimulate the discussion of new ideas, foster new collaborations, grow
the climate informatics community, and thus accelerate discovery across
disciplinary boundaries.
The format of the workshop seeks to overcome cross-disciplinary language
barriers and to emphasize communication between participants by
featuring tutorials, invited talks, panel discussions, posters and
break-out sessions. The programs of previous workshops can be found here
(CI 2012, CI 2011). We invite all researchers interested in learning
about critical issues and opportunities in the field of climate
informatics to join us, whether established in the field or just
starting out.
