Call for Papers*- GIS/EM4 (Second Circular - Revised due date)4th International Conference on Integrating Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Environmental Modeling

WARNING: DO NOT REPLY DIRECTLY TO THIS MESSAGE. RESPOND ONLY TO http://www.colorado.edu/research/cires/banff OR mailto:gisem4@c lorado.edu AS INSTRUCTED BELOW.
*Abstracts are invited for book chapters, journal articles, tutorials or workshops, method/technique/ tool demonstration , and electronic or static "poster" presentations contributing to the 4th International Conference on Integrating GIS an Environmental Modeling. The meeting will be held in dedicated, full service facilities at The Banff Centre for Conferen es in Banff, Alberta, Canada, September 2-8, 2000. Self-explanatory abstracts in English should be 1-2 pages in length a d 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 p oblem solving. A special conference theme will be human-environment interactions, and the role that GIS and modeling hav in their improved understanding and prediction.
The forum will retain its cross-disciplinary, pan-scientific, and problem solving emphases consistent with a concern fo better integrated understanding of complex whole systems, their integrity and sustained functioning, and particularly ( ut not exclusively) their interactions with human activity. Spatial, statistical, temporal, and other methodological con iderations are expected to be given balanced treatment with issues of science theory, new data sources and sensors, comp ting technologies, and application techniques.
Abstracts should be submitted no later than 5:00 pm (Pacific Standard Time) on December 17, 1999 (extended from Nov. 19) via a web-active form available on the conference web page at http://www.colorado.edu/research/cires/banff/.
