Interdisciplinarietà e studi ambientali

This the final conference of three different Italian research projects on Environmental problems focusing on statistics, chemistry and physics. This GRASPA2007 conference is co-organized by the Italian Research Group on Environmental Statistics (GRASPA), which is coordinated by Daniela Cocchi, and is presenting the results on “Statistical methods for handling complexity and uncertainty in environmental studies” concerning multivariate and/or nonlinear spatio-temporal modelling with special reference to air pollution and PM10, health effects of air pollution and climate changes, water quality and Posidonia algae modelling. The project on Environmental Physics is coordinated by Maria Rita Perrone and is concerned with optical and microphysical characterization of aerosols and the assessment of the influence of Sahara dust transport on Italian particulate matters distribution. The project on Environmental Chemistry, which is coordinated by Paolo Bruno, is concerned with integrated study of airborne pollutants and, therefore, is particularly requiring an interdisciplinary approach.
