Geomorphometry 2009 29 August - 2 September 2009 Zurich, Switzerland http://2009.GEOMORPHOMETRY.ORG e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PROGRAM CHAIRS Ross Purves University of Zurich Stephan Gruber University of Zurich Tomislav Hengl University of Amsterdam KEY DATES Workshop proposals due 14 January 2009 Extended abstracts due 1 March 2009 Notification of acceptance 1 April 2009 Final camera-ready digital manuscripts due 1 May 2009 Author registration deadline 15 May 2009 Early registration deadline 15 May 2009 Geomorphometry 2009 Workshops 29 August & 30 August 2009 Geomorphometry 2009 31 August - 2 September 2009 AIMS AND SCOPE The aim of Geomorphometry 2009 is to bring together researchers to present and discuss developments in the field of quantitative modelling and analysis of elevation data. Geomorphometry is the science of quantitative land-surface analysis and description at diverse spatial scales. It draws upon mathematical, statistical and image-processing techniques and interfaces with many disciplines including hydrology, geology, computational geometry, geomorphology, remote sensing, geographic information science and geography. The conference aims to attract leading researchers in geomorphometry presenting methodological advances in the field and to provide young researchers with an opportunity to present new results. The Geomorphometry 2009 conference will continue a series initiated by the Terrain Analysis and Digital Terrain Modelling conference hosted by Nanjing Normal University in November 2006. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - Extraction of land-surface parameters from DEMs - Implications of novel data sources - Identification and classification of land-surface objects - Uncertainty in geomorphometry - Semantics of land-surface description - Visualisation in geomorphometry - Implications of scale and resolution - Flow and hydrological modelling using DEMs - Efficient methods for application to large data sets - Novel applications of geomorphometry - Planetary geomorphometry We specifically aim at papers with new methodological insights and thus papers which simply describe the application of GIS are discouraged. CONFERENCE PROGRAMME The conference programme will be based around a single track of papers, all of which will be subject to review in the form of extended abstracts by members of the programme committee. Criteria for paper acceptance will include relevance to the conference, novelty, scientific significance, relation to previous work in the domain and the quality of presentation. The proceedings will be made available both digitally and as printed working materials to attendees at the time of the conference and archived online. A special issue of a journal, to which authors will be invited to submit full papers after the conference is also planned. WORKSHOPS Geomorphometry will host up to three workshops, each with 15-30 attendees on the 29th and 30th August. We invite applications to host a workshop on a theme related to the main conference. Workshops should primarily take the form of either tutorials in a particular method or technique, or provide the opportunity for detailed discussion of upcoming topics. They should not simply be mini-conferences. If you are interested in organising a workshop, please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with WORKSHOP as the subject line, as well as a 1-page description of the workshop with the following headings: intended aims and scope, intended audience, outline workshop programme and technical requirements. SUBMISSIONS Prospective authors will be invited to submit extended abstracts of up to 2000 words by the above deadline through the EasyChair system. Formatting instructions and detailed information on using the submission system will be available in due course. Extended abstracts must be original works by the authors, not be currently under review in the same form by another outlet and not submitted elsewhere prior to the notification date.
