Call for Papers* - GIS/EM4
4th International Conference on Integrating Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) and Environmental Modeling
September 2-8, 2000: The Banff Centre for Conferences, Banff, Alberta,
Canada
Sponsors to-date: NSF, NCGIA, NASA, USFS, EPA, NOAA, USGS, USACE/DOD, 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.
Abstracts should be submitted no later than 5:00 pm (Pacific Standard Time)
on November 19, 1999 via a web-active form available on the conference web
page at http://www.colorado.edu/research/cires/banff/. This URL also
contains other important information about contributions to the conference.
