IPY GeoNorth 2007, the first international circumpolar conference on geospatial sciences and their application, is a unique opportunity to better understand the nature and behaviour of the circumpolar regions and their role in the functioning of our planet. Hosted by the Government of Canada, this conference is organized by the Earth Sciences Sector of Natural Resources Canada in collaboration with the Canadian Institute of Geomatics (CIG) and the Government of the Northwest Territories Centre for Geomatics (GNWT-CG). IPY GeoNorth 2007 has the support of the International Polar Year (IPY) Committee and other international organizations such as the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS), the International Cartographic Association (ICA), the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and the International Standards Organization Technical Committee 211 - Geographic Information/ Geomatics (ISO/TC 211). At IPY GeoNorth 2007, geospatial data users and scientists interested in the generation and use of geospatial information in northern environments will have the opportunity to share their knowledge and experience. Through a series of scientific and technical sessions, IPY GeoNorth 2007 will demonstrate that geospatial information is an essential tool to support Earth sciences studies and to facilitate sound decision making on a wide range of developmental initiatives
