In other proejcts, new analytical or statistical mheot ds were investaigted, including the application of meta-analysis to ecologicaplr oblems, the theory and apcpaltiion of sampling curves in ecology, the quanctiafition of uncertainty in spatial datafo r ecological appcliations, and the application of geostatistics in ecology. [...] The activities at the Center represent a fairly distinctiver perniste but we have now concdtued enougha ctivities to get a sense of the absolute costs, and the cost in relation to what was budgetedf or the proej ct. [...] The activity received extensive attention in the scientifpicu abnlicd media and the findings are of real interest to the public and private sectors. [...] These economic benefits are recognized and appreciated by the local community, and the UCSB administration views NCEAS as a good ambassador of the university to the community. [...] The Director of NCEAS serves on the advisory board for the Institute for Ctaotmiopnual Earth Systems Science, and we have been involved with the Institute for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Research, the Evolution Psychology Center, and the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center.
