Call for Papers – Early Careers Research in Quantitative Geography and Geographic Information Science, RGS-IBG Annual Conference 2011
Abstracts are invited for a session at the annual conference of the Royal Geographical Society – Institute of British Geographers conference 2011. The conference runs between 31st August – 2nd September 2011; the exact date of this special session is to be confirmed. The session is jointly hosted by the GIScRG and Quantitative Methods Research Group (QMRG).
More about the session:
“The data and tools that are used for analysing, visualising and understanding social and environmental change have become increasingly accessible and sophisticated in recent years. Quantitative methods in geography and GIScience have been at the forefront of these advances, developing tools, providing new visualisations and communicating the results to wider audiences. This session seeks to attract researchers from all areas of quantitative geography, GIScience, Geovisualisation and beyond who are concerned with monitoring and visualising social or environmental change”.
Submissions are especially welcome from early career researchers and post-doctoral students who want to present results from their work in a friendly and supportive environment.
For more information, please contact the session convenors, James Cheshire (james.cheshire[AT]ucl.ac.uk) and/or Alex Singleton (alex.singleton[AT]liverpool.ac.uk). Please send abstracts (250 words max.) to the session convenors, by 20th February 2011.
