The total amount of $900 will be awarded to three early scholars who publish their research in IJGER for three years from 2021.

Qualifications
  • Graduate students or early-career scholars who earned their doctoral degrees in the past three years at the time of submission of their manuscripts.
  • The author should hold the KAGES membership at the time of their manuscript submission to IJGER.
  • The awardee should be the single author or the first author of the article.

Implications of Spatial Autocorrelation for Environmental Modeling

Introduction

The Editors invite submission of papers that can be considered for inclusion in the special issue of IJGER, which focuses on the potential effects of spatial autocorrelation (SAC) on the procedure and outcomes of geospatial and environmental modeling.

Spatial autocorrelation is inherent in any type of spatial data, be they societal, environmental or biological. Hence, the potential influences of SAC and efforts to incorporate them into a geospatial modeling or mapping procedure have long been a paradigm in the literature of geospatial and environmental sciences. We invite original review or research papers that discuss the theoretical and/or methodological development related to this topic.

The potential research topics for this special issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
•Why is SAC nearly ubiquitous in spatial data?
•Measurement, analysis, and methodological questions concerning SAC
•Development of statistical techniques for detecting SAC
•Incorporation of SAC into geospatial and environmental modeling
•Effects of (not) accounting for SAC on modeling outcomes

Time-line

There is no specific deadline for submitting an abstract or a manuscript for this special issue. IJGER plans to keep this special issue open for at least next two years (i.e., until June 2018).

Inquiries should be directed to: Guest editor, Dr. Daehyun Kim (biogeokim@uky.edu)

Call for Papers: Special issue on “Big Data and Geographic Information”

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.

 

The potential research topics for this special issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Theoretical developments and knowledge discovery with Big Data
  • Big Data in geospatial and environmental sciences
  • Measurement, analysis and methodological questions of Big Data
  • Big Data infrastructure
  • Institutional issues, organization and networks dealing with Big Data
  • Application of Big Data
  • Use of Big Data technologies
  • Scientific Visualization of Big Data
  • Data Mining
  • Volunteered Geographic Information
  • Big Data and education in geospatial and environmental sciences

CFP: Special issue on “Geospatial Analysis of Disasters and Hazards”

Posted on by

The International Journal of Geospatial and Environmental Research (IJGER) is an international journal that provides a forum for discussion among researchers in geography and related fields. It covers diverse fields of geography and environmental sciences with a spatial dimension, and publishes original research papers, review articles, and short communications on academic activities.

 
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 April 15, 2015.
We welcome contributions dealing with a variety of geospatial technologies (e.g., GIS, Remote Sensing, Spatial Statistics) and topics that address disasters and hazards in either natural or urban or coupled human and natural environment.
 
The catastrophic consequences of disasters and hazards around the globe highlight the necessity of understanding a spatial perspective to disasters and hazards. We are interested in receiving research articles dealing with innovative examples of the use of GIS, RS, Geovisualization, or Spatial Statistics for disaster and hazard planning, mitigation, response, assessment, or management.
 
The potential research topics for this special issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
·         Environmental contamination, degradation and its impact on human health
·         Risk and vulnerability of population by disasters and hazards
·         Human impact of disasters and hazards
·         Human responses to disasters and hazards
·         Damage potential and risk exposure
·         Pre and post assessment
·         Disaster mitigation and response
·         Emergency management
·         Climate change, warning systems, hazard mitigation
·         Superfund sites
·         Floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, tornados, etc.
We welcome full-length papers as well as focused contributions and short case study examples. The papers show our range of coverage, our depth of peer review, and our high standards.
