The Colloquium is concerned with recent advances in the areas of Quantitative and Theoretical Geography, and welcomes the submission of high-quality, original contributions. Presentations may describe work of methodological theoretical interest either recently completed or is in progress.

Topics of interest include without being limited to:

Applications of spatial data analysis and geostatistics
Statistical inference
Space-time processes in regional science
Geographical flows and networks
Urban dynamics and growth
Economical geography and spatial economy
Natural resource management and risk analysis
Spatial processes related to the Renewable Energy and the Green Economy
Climate Change
Health geography and epidemiology
Cellular automata, multi-agent systems and cooperative phenomena
Spatial Data Visualization
Innovative and inter-disciplinary methods for spatial data
Epistemological issues in quantitative geography
In recent years we have seen papers in the areas of GIS, spatial analysis, statistical techniques, mathematical models, fractals, remote sensing, cellular automata, agent-based modelling, locational analysis, urban modelling, environment and pollution, theoretical models, cartographic issues, urban and regional development: this list is not exhaustive.

Proposals for special sessions, including named proposals among participants, are welcome.
