The first two conferences in this series were held in Mont
Tremblant, Quebec, in 1994 and in Osaka, Japan, in 1995. The third one is going to be held in Beijing, China, August, 1996.
The 1997 conference, which will be held in Barcelona, Spain,
in September 22 - 27, pursues the same objective of being a
platform for discussion in the field of Mathematical Geology.
This international conference will focus primarily on the
statistical analysis of compositional data with special
emphasis on geological data. Other topics, such as environ-
mental studies, resource assessment and exploration, predic-
tion and prevention of geological hazards, computer applica-
tions in geology, and theoretical developments in geostatis-
tics, will be included depending on the proposals presented
by scientists willing to organise special technical sessions.
We invite you to make proposals for special technical
sessions, tutorial workshops, and short courses. The sessions
will be held in the Escola Tecnica Superior d'Enginyers de
Camins, Canals i Ports de Barcelona (School for Civil Engine-
ering) of the Universitat Polite cnica de Catalunya. Details
about characteristics of the city, such as accommodation,
travel, climate, cultural activities and special program for
accompanying persons will be offered in forthcoming circu-
lars, which will be sent to people who submit the attached
pre-registration form.
Interested contributors for oral or poster presentations must
submit a one-page abstract of 200-400 words in English without
figures or references before January 31, 1997. Communications
will be accepted on the basis of submitted abstracts by peer
review of at least two referees. Notification of paper's
acceptance and instructions for camera-ready manuscript (maxi-
mum of four pages) will be mailed on March 31, 1997. Final ca-
mera-ready copy will be due before May 30, 1997. Participants
of the conference will receive a volume with all presented
papers. Following the conference, authors of selected papers
will be invited to present an extended article to be published
in a special volume.
