Mission Statement
The focus of the International
Society
of Spatial Sciences (ISSS: "I-triple-S) is to place in a core position
those sciences, of spatial character, that are often relegated to the
periphery
within academic institutional structure. Such sciences are, to name
only
a few, geology, geography, and astronomy. In moving along this
continuum
from the center of the Earth to the outer reaches of the universe, one
might imagine a whole host of sciences that could also be included
(from
oceanography to atmospheric science to regional science). Thus, ISSS
offers
a platform from which individuals and institutions devoted to some
aspect
of spatial science might further their interests. This new organization
is founded within the mantle of Community
Systems Foundation, a non-profit corporation in Ann Arbor,
Michigan. Because electronic networks are easily accessible at a low
cost,
we envision a wide range of possibilities--from electronic journals,
monographs,
and books, to digital teaching materials, to materials available on
Internet.
Join us on this electronic platform devoted to the spatial sciences.
Please
feel free to share with us links to electronic materials that you think
