Meetings

September 2007

The final RAINMAP network meeting was held on the 13th-14th September 2007 at the Oxford Town Hall. More information is available on the meetings page.

The presentations from the April 2007 meeting on “Handling uncertainty in the measurement of rainfall”, held at the Royal Statistical Society are now on available to view.

Spatial resolution enhancement for environmental data, a meeting organised by the Environmental Statistics Section of the Royal Statistical Society, in association with the RAINMAP network. View the abstracts and presentations.
