The International Environmetrics Society (TIES) was founded at a meeting of participants
of the 1989 Conference on Environmetrics held in Cairo, Egypt. Two distinguished keynote
speakers, statistician John Stewart Hunter and limnologist Richard A. Vollenweider,
set the interdisciplinary tone of the conferences from the beginning. Currently, two
regular lectures are arranged for the conference each year.
