Call for Participation: Space-Time Modeling and Analysis Workshop
Scientists to Gather for Inaugural Redlands GIS Week in February 2010
Scientists working on understanding the integration of space and time will gather in California February 22–23, 2010, to attend the Space-Time Modeling and Analysis Workshop. The workshop will be part of the first Redlands GIS Week—a gathering of thought leaders from academia, government, and industry to advance the science and application of geospatial technologies. The remainder of Redlands GIS Week 2010 will be dedicated to informal networking activities, demonstrations, and technical tours.
The Space-Time Modeling and Analysis Workshop will feature keynote presentations, lightning talks, and small group discussions, as well as opportunities for informal brainstorming with leading geospatial thinkers and implementers. Researchers are invited to submit 500-word abstracts describing the work that they would present as either a keynote or lightning (focused 10-minute) talk. Preference will be given to abstracts describing concrete results to concrete problems, and software demonstrations are encouraged.
Redlands GIS Week will be held at ESRI's headquarters as well as nearby sites in Redlands, California. The event is cosponsored by the University of Southern California, ESRI, the Association of American Geographers (AAG), and the University of Redlands. After the workshop, a publication will share the event's results with a larger audience.

Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.CONSULTANCY TRENDS IN 2010
David Mole, Managing Director at Landmark Environment, provides an insight into the opportunities and challenges facing environmental consultants in 2010.
Over the last year there have been numerous events that have impacted upon the environmental consultancy sector. More recently the progress report from the Committee on Climate Change (CCC) issued a clarion call to government to take steps to further reduce carbon emissions, as well as make buildings and industry more efficient. December’s UN Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen has only compounded the sense of urgency for the UK to identify and deliver solutions to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
Looking ahead to 2010, we know the impacts of climate change are already finding their way onto the consultancy agenda. A recent poll among Landmark’s clients found that consultancies expect flood risk assessment to be the biggest growth area for their business during 2010. Carbon footprinting and the energy assessment… More…
