Dear Colleagues,



Following our recent meeting, and in response to COVID-19 pandemic, UN-GGIM
Academic Network in collaboration with the publisher CRC Press are seeking
to publish a new *Open Access book* entitled: *COVID-19: Geospatial
Information and Community Resilience*. I am reaching out to you for your
consideration to contribute a chapter for this book that is commensurate
with your expertise or contributing an observation on current issues.



This book is unique for  integrating location intelligence, mapping,
GIS and spatial
analysis in public health research, and for presenting this global
problem through
a spatial perspective. Please see attached for the details of the call for
contribution. While the first part of the book focuses on principles and
foundations for geospatial science and technologies, the consecutive parts
contain chapters of selected topics presenting in-depth case studies,
which discuss
pandemic indicator data and data collection processes, key literature for
the appropriate spatial analytical methods applied, and illustration of
cartographic techniques for visualizing and mapping pandemic cases of a
particular place or a region/country.



The book will consist of four parts illustrating themes of experiences and
reflections obtained from the pandemic, as well as a forward looking
collection of ongoing development for building a more resilience community,
economy and environment from local to the global scale.



I would very much appreciate your contribution to this new and important
publication. Please do let me know if you are interested in writing a
chapter or observation. If you have any recommendations for contributions
by other practitioners from your networks, please share the flyer with them
and encourage them for proposal to contribute. Please see the details of
the timeframe for this publication.



Thank you for your consideration and I am looking forward to hearing from
you soon.



Best Regards,

Abbas
