Feature Articles
GIM International welcomes professional contributions for publication in any forthcoming issue. We encourage the submission of short articles (1,000 -1,500 words) dealing with leading-edge technological developments in land surveying, photogrammetry, remote sensing, cartography, Lidar, GPS, creation of digital surface models, GIS, 3D city modelling, location-based services, cadastre and geo-databases. In addition, and to a lesser extent, subject matter may cover applications of geomatics technologies such as natural resources, agriculture, forestry, disaster management, archaeology, and city planning. Also welcome are articles that review the status of geomatics, or parts of it, within any particular country or region, as well as business-orientated articles and articles focusing on geomatics education.
We discourage academic articles and those written for a specific scientific audience, and papers focusing upon specific, commercial geomatics products.
