Call for Papers/Abstracts:
Special Issue of “Geospatial Cyberinfrastructure for Polar Science” to be published with Computers & Geosciences
To capture recent developments in Geospatial Cyberinfrastructure (GCI) for Polar Science research, we invite submissions to a special issue of Computers & Geosciences. The special issue will feature "research on novel computer & IT methods in the polar sciences, such as spatial analysis, modeling, simulation, statistical and artificial intelligence methods, e-science, geoinformatics, geomatics, geocomputation, image analysis, remote sensing, and geographical information science."
Topics include but are not limited to:
- GCI and polar science
- Polar science and climate change using cyberinfrastructure
- Polar geological science using cyberinfrastructure
- Analytical and modeling techniques for polar studies
- Computing and observations for polar studies
- Intelligent computing methods for polar studies
We invite abstracts up to about 500 words in length that include introduction, methodology, experiments, contribution, and references (up to 4) of a paper. Submissions will be reviewed to select about 10-15 full paper submissions, of which 8-10 papers will be accepted to be published after the journal's peer review process.
The following are relevant due dates.
- Nov.30, 2009, abstract submissions due
- Dec.15, 2009, paper submissions based on abstract review due
- Mar.30, 2010, full paper due for peer review.
- Jul.30, 2010, decision for paper acceptance
- Published in an early 2011 issue of Computers & Geosciences.
