Dear All,
With a little over a month left for the deadline for submission
of abstracts (30 April, 2004) for GIS-IDEAS 2004, I take
this oppurtunity to remind the subscribers of this list to kindly
submit their abstracts through the symposium web-page
(http://gisws.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/gisideas04/).
The conference is scheduled to be held at Hanoi University of Science,
Vietnam from 16-18 September 2004. Details are
available on the conference web-site. Looking forward
to seeing many Geoinformatics researcher and practitioners at the
Symposium and hoping that the meeting would be a big success. Would also
like to request you all to pass on the info about the GIS-IDEAS 2004 through
appropriate means that may available to you.
Kind regards
Raghavan

Subject: [gislist] Smithsonian Conservation GIS Internship
Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2004 15:07:19 -0500
From: GISCourse GISCourse <GISCourse(a)crc.si.edu>
The Spatial Analysis Lab at the Smithsonian Conservation & Research Center
(CRC) is seeking interns, to start immediately. The Lab focuses on
developing remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
applications to conservation problems
(http://nationalzoo.si.edu/ConservationAndScience/ConservationGIS).
Projects include:
1. Assessing land cover change through remote sensing for the ranges of
endangered species, with special focus on protected areas within these
ranges.
2. Using GIS to map habitat for endangered species at different spatial
scales. Currently we are working on Asian elephants, giant pandas, clouded
leopards, maned wolves, Mongolian gazelles, and others.
3. Training of wildlife management professionals in application of GPS,
GIS and remote sensing to every-day management.
Interns will assist in the GIS/remote sensing aspects of these projects,
enter data, help with training courses, and assist with everyday lab
management. We seek interns with a good knowledge of computers, Windows
operating systems, standard office software, and basic knowledge of GIS
(preferably ArcView or ARC/INFO). Additional experience with remote
sensing, ERDAS Imagine (or other image processing software), Adobe
Photoshop, or GPS are a plus. The internship covers a stipend and housing.
Send letter of interest and resume ASAP to Melissa Songer at
songerm(a)crc.si.edu. Include dates of availability in your letter.
The Conservation and Research Center is located at the north entrance of
the Shenandoah National Park about 60 miles west of Washington, D.C., in
Front Royal, VA.
CRC's mission is to advance conservation of biological diversity. In
meeting the Smithsonian Institution's mandate, CRC increases knowledge
through investigations of threatened species, habitats, and communities, and
disseminates knowledge through advanced studies, professional training, and
public outreach.

Dear Colleagues,
With the aim of promoting interaction between Vietnamese scientist who
have participated in JICA sponsored training in Remote Sensing and GIS,
the Japan-Vietnam Geoinformatics Consortium (JVGC) is trying to compile
an alumni list.
In this regard, I would like to request you to kindly provide the
following information if you or your colleagues have previously attended
JICA sponsored Training in RS/GIS.
a) Name of the Vietnamese Candidate
b) Name and duration of the Course
c) Vietnamese Candidates Position and address
