Call for Papers*- GIS/EM4 (Fourth Circular - Current due date -- Jan. 29,
2000)
4th International Conference on Integrating Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) and Environmental Modeling (GIS/EM4)
September 2-8, 2000: The Banff Centre for Conferences, Banff, Alberta, Canada
Sponsors to-date: NSF, NCGIA, NASA, USFS, EPA, NOAA, USGS, USACE, NRCS
*Abstracts are invited for book chapters, journal articles, tutorials or
workshops, method/technique/ tool demonstrations, and electronic or static
"poster" presentations contributing to the 4th International Conference on
Integrating GIS and Environmental Modeling. The meeting will be held in
dedicated, full service facilities at The Banff Centre for Conferences in
Banff, Alberta, Canada, September 2-8, 2000.
Self-explanatory abstracts in English should be 1-2 pages in length and
must include title, author(s), institutional affiliation(s), explanation of
completed work to be described, and 5-10 author-assigned key words. Clear
relevance must be shown to predictive, numerical modeling approaches to
environmental problem solving. A special conference theme will be
human-environment interactions, and the role that GIS and modeling have in
their improved understanding and prediction.
The forum will retain its cross-disciplinary, pan-scientific, and problem
solving emphases consistent with a concern for better integrated
understanding of complex whole systems, their integrity and sustained
functioning, and particularly (but not exclusively) their interactions with
human activity. Spatial, statistical, temporal, and other methodological
considerations are expected to be given balanced treatment with issues of
science theory, new data sources and sensors, computing technologies, and
application techniques.
