✦ Synopsis
Sponsors include: 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 contribution to the 4th International Conference on Integrating GIS and Environmental Modelling. The meeting will be held in dedicated, full facilities at The Banff Centre for Conferences in Banff, Alberta, Canada, 2-8 September 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 keywords. Clear relevance must be shown to predictive, numerical modelling approaches to environmental problem solving. A special conference theme will be human-environment interactions, and the role that GIS and modelling 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
