Gyde, please broadcast the following program and registration
information gistration information for the Second International
Second International Symposium on Spatial Accuracy Assessment in
Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences, May 21-23, 1996, Fort
Collins, CO USA. I believe that this symposium has an extremely
strong program of international experts who are accomplished in the
serious application of spatial data to solve environmental and
ecological problems.
THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON
SPATIAL ACCURACY ASSESSMENT
IN NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES
May 21-23, 1996
Colorado State University
Fort Collins, Colorado.
SYMPOSIUM OVERVIEW
The Second International Symposium on Spatial Accuracy Assessment
in Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences will be held May
21-23, 1996 at Lory Student Center, Colorado State University,
Fort Collins, Colorado. More than ninety submitted and invited
presentations are scheduled in 23 informative sessions, with time
for stimulating, open discussion. Topics include accuracy
related aspects of spatial statistics, GIS, remote sensing, and
multidisciplinary approaches. Keynote speakers and plenary
sessions will be featured each morning, with concurrent sessions
each afternoon. Proceedings will be published as a Forest
Service Research publication, which will be distributed at the
Symposium, and sent to numerous libraries and research
institutions at no cost. Language: Oral presentations may be in
any of the IUFRO official languages (German, French, Spanish, or
English). No simultaneous translation will be provided, however,
and it is expected that English will be the predominant language.
Attendance is limited to 350.

LOCATION
Fort Collins, a progressive community of more than 100,000
inhabitants, is located in the shadow of the spectacular front
range of the Rocky Mountains. Thirty minutes from campus is the
canyon of the Cache la Poudre River, famous for trout fishing and mountain recreation. An hour s drive up the Big Thompson Canyon
is the town of Estes Park, the gateway to Rocky Mountian National
Park. At an elevation of 1500 meters, Fort Collins enjoys a
clear, dry climate. The average daytime temperature in May is 20
degrees C. (68 degrees F.), and average humidity is 30 percent.
