Seeing the unseen

An hour-long talk by Claire Miller, Professor of Statistics and recent recipient of the Royal Statistical Society Barnett Award 2025 for exceptional contributions to environmental statistics.

Claire will be in conversation with Sefi Roth, Associate Professor in Environmental Economics at LSE, followed by a 30-minute audience Q&A and post-event reception.

We now have the potential to access more data than ever before, which can help us to explore important, complex and increasingly pressing environmental issues. However, each source of data often has its own limitations, meaning there's often missing information from an individual data source. To get a more complete picture, we can combine data from different data sources. Claire Miller will explore the statistical and data analytics approaches being developed to successfully bring different data sources together to improve environmental planning and management.

Speakers:

• Claire Miller, Professor of Statistics, University of Glasgow.
• Sefi Roth, Associate Professor of Environmental Economics, Department of Geography and Environment at LSE.

Chaired by Milan Vojnovic, Professor and incoming Head of Department, Department of Statistics at LSE.

All welcome

Particularly of interest to those using data to address environmental issues.
