Lectures and Practical Sessions with Ilya Zaslavsky Continued

The scientific and educational program organized with visiting professor Ilya Zaslavsky continued at the Faculty of Geography and Environmental Sciences of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University.

The final two days of the program were dedicated to climate change, public health, and modern trends in Spatial Data Science.

📌 On September 3, a lecture was delivered on the topic: "Climate and Health in Arid Regions: Assessing the Impact of Climate Change on Population Health."

The lecture covered the impact of climate change and environmental conditions on public health—particularly in arid regions—the importance of research in this area, and the application of modern data and technologies.

💻 On September 4, a practical session titled "An Introduction to Spatial Data Science" was organized.

During the workshop, participants explored modern approaches to working with spatial data, programming, and applying machine learning techniques.

The sessions were held in a hybrid format, offering participants the opportunity to learn and exchange ideas both in person and online. 🌐

✨ The final two days of the scientific program provided participants with fresh insights and valuable experience across highly relevant fields today, including climate studies, health geography, spatial data analysis, and machine learning.

Such meetings not only strengthen international scientific cooperation but also contribute significantly to boosting student and young researcher engagement in cutting-edge scientific fields and advancing their professional skills.
