Workshop proceedings and summary reports will appear in scientific periodicals and will also be available in various forms as technical reports from the NISS in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. In particular, study papers from the workshop will be prepared that will serve as indicators of further research directions, as well as current summaries of the complex issue of combining environmental data. Potential applications and improvements in associated areas of scientific/statistical research include census sampling, geostatistics, and biological effect modeling. This workshop was an experiment in how to stimulate and foster research and collaborations across disciplinary lines. Its motivation derives, however, from ever-growing social, political, economic, and scientific needs; with such strong background, it is hoped that the workshop stimulus will be strong, compelling, and fruitful.
研讨会会议记录和总结报告将发表在科学期刊上，也将以多种形式作为北卡罗来纳州三角研究园国家统计科学研究所的技术报告提供。特别是，将编写研讨会的研究论文，这些论文将作为进一步研究方向的指标，以及环境数据综合这一复杂问题的当前总结。科学/统计研究相关领域的潜在应用和改进包括人口普查抽样、地质统计学和生物效应建模。本次研讨会是一次关于如何促进跨学科研究与合作的实验。然而，其动机源于不断增长的社会、政治、经济和科学需求；有了这样强大的背景，希望研讨会能产生强大、有说服力且富有成果的推动作用。
