Call for papers

The Colloquium is concerned with recent advances in the areas of Quantitative and Theoretical Geography, and welcomes the submission of high-quality, original contributions. Presentations may describe work which you have recently completed, or work which is in progress but which will be of methodological theoretical interest.

Topics of interest include without being limited to:

• Space-time processes in regional science
• Geographical flows and networks
• Urban dynamics and growth
• Economical geography and spatial economy
• Natural resource management and risk analysis
• Health geography and epidemiology
• Cellular automata, multi-agent systems and cooperative phenomena
• Innovative and inter-disciplinary methods for spatial data
• Epistemological issues in quantitative geography

In recent years we have seen papers in the areas of GIS, spatial analysis, statistical techniques, mathematical models, fractals, remote sensing, cellular automata, agent-based modelling, locational analysis, urban modelling, environment and pollution, theoretical models, cartographic issues, urban and regional development: this list is not exhaustive.

Proposals for special sessions, including named proposals among participants, are welcome.
