We invite you to submit your contribution related to the following themes, but not restricted to them:

• Climate change impacts and adaptation of coastal settlements
• GIS technology, remote sensing and spatial analysis in coastal zone management
• Mapping and modelling ecosystem services in the coastal zone
• Coastal vulnerability assessment – strategies for mitigation and adaptation
• GIS applications for fisheries and coastal resources management
• Data on demographic and social changes in coastal settlements
• Decision support for marine spatial planning and management
• Mapping, monitoring, modelling coastal environments

We accept papers for oral presentation, posters, and suggestions for panel sessions. Please submit your contribution via this online submission form until May 31st, 2018. For further information please contact coastgis2018@uw.is.
