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.
