Many disciplines are interested in methods for gridding the curved surface of the Earth.
This conference will bring researchers together from many different disciplines to share advances in the rapidly developing fields of discrete global grids, global coordinate systems, and global georeferencing, and their applications. The program will include keynote presentations, contributed papers, demonstrations, and informal discussions. The conference will be held in the Radisson Hotel on the Santa Barbara waterfront. It will begin with a reception and keynote presentation on Sunday evening March 26, and continue through Tuesday March 28, 2000. Papers are invited that address any aspect of global grids.
