The University of Pisa (Italy) and the European projects SHARInG-MeD and SUS-SOIL are organising the:
Summer School on Agriculture, Forest and Environmental Geodata Statistical Analysis, Modelling and Machine Learning [SAFEST] (second edition)
Deadline for application: 31 March 2025
Number of students: no more than 50 (the 2024 edition had 70 students, thus we decided to reduce the number of students allowed for a better teaching)

Topics covered are:
- reference databases on land cover, soil, and meteorological and climate data;
- data visualization, spatial references and projections, proximal and remote sensed data, terrain analysis;
- methods for covariate handling, harmonization;
- linear mixed models for soil and biological data, analyses of unbalanced design or missing data, and spatialization in plot experiments under controlled conditions;
- modelling procedures: classification and regression trees models (random forest, boosted regression trees, others), artificial neural networks, and convolutional neural networks, etc.
