[Ica-sdistandards] Fwd: COVID-19 and Geospatial Book - Call for chapter proposals (deadline: 10 May)

[Alberto Costa Neves]

Dear Serena,

That will be great. I will spread it to our networks in order to have the maritime domain represented in the book. As you know, around 90% of goods are transferred by ship and operations are challenging due to port restrictions. Geospatial solutions were found to help the shipping industry and ports to cope with these challenges.

Regards,
Alberto

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
