The afternoon of the fourth day started with Doug Woolford (Western) describing a data sharpening method for clustering lightning strikes in space and time. Sylvia Esterby (UBC-Okanagan) described an analysis of fire index data. Bo Song (Clemson) ended the day with a fascinating talk on fire data visualization techniques. The final day was a half-day highlighted by an excellent concluding talk by Charmaine Dean and Farouk Nathoo (Simon Fraser) on the analysis of pine weevil infestations using space-time mixture models. The rest of the morning was devoted to a discussion of where to go from here; clearly there is interest in developing collaborative ties between the forestry community and statisticians. The group decided to pursue a full proposal to the National Program on Complex Data Structures (NPCDS) to further this aim.
