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 might be useful:
