UPDATE: 4th International Conference on Integrating GIS and Environmental
Modeling.
We have made considerable progress with the GIS/EM4 conference program, web
site and data bases, NSF-funded student competition, conference
proceedings, and special publications. Please have a look and note the
following updates:
1. Kiosk revised at GIS/EM4 web site
The Kiosk has been completely revised. Expect other web site updates in the
next two weeks. (http://www.colorado.edu/research/cires/banff). Please have
a look.
2. Reservations and registration
Please register now to obtain on-site accommodations at The Banff Centre
for Conferences (https://secure.banffcentre.ab.ca/cfc/cires/cires_form.htm).
3. Second round of student fellowship candidates
Latecomers have been added to the NSF Fellowship Competition for graduate
students. This adds a short delay in announcing winners but abstracts by
first round candidates have already been juried. We anticipate notification
before June.
4. Conference program
A conference topics list will be posted in several days, preliminary to the
GIS/EM4 program/schedule. A detailed program will quickly follow.
5. Book and special journal issues
A special topics book of invited papers is underway and may be ready for
the conference. Special issues are also in preparation for the Journal of
Environmental Management and Transactions of GIS. They too may be ready by
the conference. The GIS/EM4 conference proceedings (to be an on-line and CD
"web book") is being handled in parallel with (and separately from) these
other publishing activities.
We look forward to seeing you at GIS/EM4 in Banff, Canada, September 2-8, 2000.
