The
AAG Cartography
Specialty Group invites members to
request sponsorship of special sessions for the 2009 AAG annual meeting
in Las Vegas. In preparing your special session, please keep in mind
that the
CSG
would like to sponsor a maximum of 50 sessions in an attempt to
minimize time
conflicts that often lead to poor turnout. We encourage the use of some
of the
newer presentation formats for sessions such as the Interactive Short
Paper
which consists of 10-14 five minute presentations: http://www.aag.org/annualmeetings/2009/papers.htm
To request CSG
sponsorship, please email me

of
October 16th:

B. Honors Student Paper
Competition
The
Cartography
Specialty Group (CSG) of the Association of American Geographers is
pleased to
announce the resurrection of the Honors Student Paper Competition on
cartographic and geovisualization related topics to be presented at the
AAG
Annual Meeting in Las Vegas, NV (March 22-27, 2009). The
purpose of
this competition is to promote written scholarship and oral
presentation by
students in the field of cartography and geovisualization. The CSG
welcomes
papers from current graduate and undergraduate students on any topic in
cartography and geovisualization.
We
especially encourage papers on theoretical, conceptual, and
methodological
developments in cartography and geovisualization rather than on
particular
mapping applications. Paper must be based upon original work, completed
as an
undergraduate or graduate student, relevant to the field of cartography
and
current geovisualization research. Papers must be written entirely by
the
applicant. Students who are selected as finalists will be placed in a
special
session at the annual meeting. The only exception is a student who is
also
selected as a Nystrom Dissertation Award finalist, in which case, he or
she may
present in the Nystrom paper session instead.
The
top five finalists will be awarded full registrations for the AAG
conference. A cash prize of $100 and a non-timeout version of ArcGIS
ArcView as
well as three extensions (Spatial Analyst, 3D Analyst and
GeoStatistical
Analyst) will be awarded to the first place winner. The second place
winner
will receive four books of his/her choice from ESRI Press. All other
finalists
will also receive two books of their choice from ESRI Press.
An
extended abstract of approximately 250 words must be submitted
electronically by October 9, 2008, and the complete paper must
be submitted no
later than February 1, 2009. Any questions about the CSG student paper
competition should be directed to Paporn Thebpanya, pthebpanya@towson.edu or
Jeremy Mennis, jmennis@temple.edu.
