(event) GEOSTAT 2010 Summer School This is the first call for participation in the GEOSTAT 2010 Summer School. GEOSTAT focuses on important aspects of statistical analysis of spatial and spatio-temporal data using open source / free GIS tools: R, SAGA GIS, GRASS GIS, Quantum GIS, GDAL, Google Earth and similar. The course participants learn how to move data back and forth between different environments, how to produce scripts and automate analysis. We welcome also R beginners and users needing refresh courses in programming. This year, we would also like to introduce/promote topics such as: web-based computing, WPS client-server environments, 3D and 4D geostatistics, combining R+SAGA/GRASS. This is a 5-day course with two parallel sessions, which means that there will be total 7 full-day blocks (three days with parallel sessions) of lectures; the last day of the summer school participants can present their research problems and ask for feedback from the whole summer school.

Poll

My first experience with using (ASTER) GDEM:

It is an excellent product (better than SRTM DEM) and easy to obtain

It is an excellent product but difficult to obtain

Positional accuracy is satisfactory, but resolution needs to be degraded

18%

Neither positional accuracy nor geomorphologic plausibility are satisfactory

27%

SRTM DEM is still more usefull

55%
