Toward seamless hydrologic predictions across spatial scales

Spatial ecology across scales.

The international conference 'Models in population dynamics and ecology 2010: animal movement, dispersal and spatial ecology' took place at the University of Leicester, UK, on 1-3 September 2010, focusing on mathematical approaches to spatial population dynamics and emphasizing cross-scale issues. Exciting new developments in scaling up from individual level movement to descriptions of this mov...

Combining Information Across Spatial Scales

Spatial and spatial-temporal processes in the physical, environmental, and biological sciences often exhibit complicated and diverse patterns across different spacetime scales. Both scientific understanding, often reflected in computer models, and observational data vary in form and content across scales. We develop and examine a Bayesian hierarchical framework by which the combination of such ...

Recording of brain activity across spatial scales

Brain activity reveals exquisite coordination across spatial scales, from local microcircuits to brain-wide networks. Understanding how the brain represents, transforms and communicates information requires simultaneous recordings from distributed nodes of whole brain networks with single-cell resolution. Realizing multi-site recordings from communicating populations is hampered by the need to ...
