Just a reminder on this nice conference (the first two were really great!).
Helena Mitasova is one of the keynote speakers. it would be great to have some GRASS users there. http://geomorphometry.org/2011 Extended abstracts due: 1 March 2011 best Carlos FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS Geomorphometry 2011: Five days of Digital Terrain Analysis (Conference + Workshops) September 7-11, 2011 (Wednesday to Sunday) ESRI Campus Redlands, California, USA http://geomorphometry.org/2011 e-mail: [email protected] ESRI campus in Redlands Conference centre This event is sponsored by: ESRI PROGRAM CHAIRS 1.

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, planetary geomorphology, 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. Redlands is in San Bernardino County and at the eastern end of the S. Californian metropolis, some 100 km east of Los Angeles. It is between 'The Badlands' and the San Bernardino Mountains, beyond which is the Mohave Desert. The Geomorphometry 2011 conference will continue a series initiated by the Terrain Analysis and Digital Terrain Modelling conference hosted by Nanjing Normal University in November 2006 and University of Zurich in 2009. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Extraction of land-surface parameters from DEMs * Implications of novel DEM data sources * Identification and classification of land-surface objects * Uncertainty in geomorphometry * Planetary geomorphometry * Processing of LiDAR data * Semantics of land-surface description * 3D 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 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 scientific 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 selection of papers will be invited for publication in a special issue of the Transactions in GIS. WORKSHOPS Geomorphometry will host up to three workshops, each with 15-30 attendees after the conference (weekend). 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 submit your proposal by 1st of February 2011 using this webform. The workshops will be selected based on the sign-ups (after March 2011). A minimum requirement to run a workshop is to collect 10 sign-ups. Based on the registrations received, the conference organizers will partially refund some of the conference costs for the workshop organizers (note: workshop organizers do need to register for the conference and pay the registration fees!). SUBMISSIONS Prospective authors are invited to submit extended abstracts of up to 4 pages (ca 2000 words) by 1st of March 2011. 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.
