I received this message from Dr. Raymond L. Czaplewski and asked me to forward
it to people who has interst to join the mailing list. Please so not respond to
me.

         I would like to build a mailing list of statisticians working with
         remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS), and
         remote sensing specialists that have experience or strong interest
         in such statistical applications.

         Statistical applications include data quality (accuracy)
         assessments of maps; estimates of area by thematic class (e.g.,
         hectares of degraded forest, with bias from misclassification
         removed); small area estimation (e.g., proportion of 5,000-ha
         watershed that contains old-growth forest using sample survey data
         and thematic maps for the surrounding 500,000-ha forest reserve);
         estimation of contingency tables with complex surveys (e.g., GIS
         data combined with two-phase sampling, including classifications
         of aerial photography and field data); estimation of probability
         transition matrices for changes in land cover and land use over
         time (i.e., change detection for detailed categories to develop
         empirical forecasts of future cover types); development of
         empirical GIS models (especially combined with sample survey
         data), such as probability of occurrence of rare events; etc.

         Members of this list might be requested to review related journal
         manuscripts and serve on scientific review panels.  Copies of list
         would be made freely available upon request.

         Broad international representation is sought.

         PLEASE REPLY IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.  Your curriculum vitae, a
         brief description of your experience, or list of your publications
         would be useful, especially in electronic format.

         Please forward to anyone else who might be interested.

         Thank you in advance for your generosity.
