Posted on by

The International Journal of Geospatial and Environmental Research (IJGER, Editor Dr. Changjoo Kim) is an open-access, peer-reviewed international journal published on behalf of Korea-America Association for Geospatial and Environmental Sciences. IJGER provides a forum for discussion among researchers in all fields of geography, both human and physical, and environmental research that has an explicit spatial dimension (http://dc.uwm.edu/ijger/). It places particular emphasis on development and applications of geospatial technologies, such as geographic information system, remote sensing, and spatial analysis.

 

The Editors invite submission of papers that can be considered for inclusion in the special issue of IJGER, which is scheduled to be published by May 2016.

 

Recently, Big Data opened up for new insights on geographic information and technologies. We invite original research papers on theoretical developments and applications demonstrating the use of Big Data as well as tools and technologies of Big Data services.
