INTERCARTO

[Bob Feeney]

I was wondering if anyone in the GRASS community is planning
to attend this conference

                             InterCarto
                     Geoinformatics and Ecology

                 An announcement and call for papers

                      Title of the conference:
              GIS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES AND MAPPING

                   23-25 May 1994 (Moscow, Russia)




     Since 1973 the  AutoCarto  conferences  are  held  by  American
scientists and  since 1981 their European colleagues start organizing
the EuroCarto conferences.  Every year or two these conferences focus
the attention of cartographers,  geographers and other specialists on
the most topical  problems  of  our  times.  We  hope  that  the  new
InterCarto conference held in Russia which belongs both to Europe and
Asia will gain a world-wide statute and draw in the  scientists  from
different countries.
      The topics  listed  below  are  intended  as suggestions;  full
consideration will be given to papers on other relevant subjects.
                   Preliminary topics of interest:
      1. GIS - Theory, Methodology, Applications in the Environmental
         Policy;
      2. Environmental GIS Applications and Mapping;
      3. Automated Mapping and Technologies;
      4. Socio-Economic  Mapping and Ecology;
      5. Urban Planning, Management and Environmental Problems;
      6. Ecological Modelling and Forecasting;
      7. Health Research with  GIS;
      8. Cartographic Education and Training.
