5. Extremes • A new measure to describe the relationship among extremes in space and time: • Simultaneous occurrence of 100-year return levels: • Perfect dependence  100 year event. • No dependence  10000 year event. Correlation TailDependence Correlation Tail Dependence Rainfall observations in South America Simulations from CCSM3 Climate Model • Challenge Spatiotemporal dependence estimation is computationally expensive (1000 grid cells results in scanning more than half a million pairs).

6. Managing uncertainty in spatiotemporal environments (MUSE) • Reasoning • Data mining • Spatial analysis • Visualization Knowledge Discovery • Challenge • Expensive query processing and spatial analysis Propagation Modeling • Conceptual • Logical GeoDB Representation Distributed asynchronous update framework Updates • Ontology • Semantic • Reasoning Data collection source of uncertainty Source
