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.
