<div dir="ltr" class="">Hi all,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Apologies for the mass mailing. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am helping organize a special issue of the journal Annals of GIS on the topic of "Open Geographic Modeling" and invite you to submit a paper for publication in this special issue. The deadline is September 30, 2020. This is a good opportunity
to send in existing work on Open Geospatial Modeling that may have been rejected elsewhere and could easily be improved and re-submitted. This is also a chance to publish other interesting graduate student research projects, open source web/desktop modelling
applications and tools, means and methods for open collaborative modelling, etc.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Please contact me, or Barry Croke, or Songshan Yue if you have any questions or want to check your paper/idea for scope-fit.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks, </div>

<div class="" style="font-family:Arial; font-size:14px; margin:0px">
<div class="" style="margin:0px">The earth’s environmental system is a complex and synthetic system that includes massive and dynamic chemical, biological, and physical processes as well as complicated human activities. Due to this complexity, it is essential
to integrate knowledge from multiple disciplines for solving complex geo-problems (refer to problems that occur in the geographic world, for example, global warming, air pollution, site selection, urban expansion planning, traffic congestion and so forth).
And along with the process of exploring suitable solutions for a geo-problem, integrated environmental modeling, collaborative modeling, and participatory modeling are all important and effective approaches. In addition, studies on Future Earth (FE), Virtual
Geographic Environment (VGE), E-Science and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)-based modeling also promoted environmental modeling towards more comprehensive geographic modeling which generally involves environmental and social disciplines as well as information
technology (GIS, Cloud computing, web services, etc.). In this context, we propose a Special Issue that targets on modeling our world based on an open idea, which means the modeling methods could be interdisciplinary or the modeling related resources could
be open source.</div>
