FINAL (EXTENDED) CALL FOR PAPERS 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 Registration open 1 March 2009 Extended abstracts due (Extended) 24 March 2009 Notification of acceptance 15 April 2009 Final camera-ready manuscripts due 15 May 2009 Early registration deadline 15 May 2009 Late registration deadline 14 August 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. A number of keynotes and open sessions, led by outstanding experts in the field are also planned. 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 Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (http://www.hydrology-and-earth-system-sciences.net/index.html) is planned, and selected authors will be invited to submit full papers for review for this special issue. WORKSHOPS Three workshops entitled, "Automated analysis of elevation data in R+ILWIS/SAGA"; "DEM analysis using ArcGIS toolbox"; "Back to reality - Reconciling geomorphometry and geomorphology in the field" are planned. Further details of workshops are available on the conference web site. KEYNOTES We are delighted to announce that Professor David Mark, SUNY Distinguished Professor in the Department of Geography at the State University of New York at Buffalo and Dr Jo Wood, Reader in GI Science at the Department for Information Science at City University, London, have agreed to give keynote lectures at Geomorphometry 2009. SUBMISSION Prospective authors are invited to submit extended abstracts of up to 2000 words by the 24th of March 2009 (Extended deadline). Papers should be prepared according to the following guidelines (Word Document http://2009.geomorphometry.org/geomorphAbs.doc) (PDF http://2009.geomorphometry.org/geomorphAbs.pdf).
