♦ Spatial Cognition and Computation A multidisciplinary journal based on the assumption that the critical issues pertaining to spatial cognition and computation lie at the intersection of a number of disciplines, in particular, cognitive psychology, computer science, geography, neuropsychology and artificial intelligence. Recent years have seen a growth in the desire of these communities to share insights and results. The aim of the journal is both to concentrate the presentation of research into spatial cognition and computation, and to explicitly encourage an interdisciplinary dialogue.
♦ Summer Research Opportunities Program (SROP) A program to expose talented undergraduates to professional and educational opportunities in the academy. The goal of the program is to increase the number of underrepresented students who pursue academic careers by enhancing their preparation for graduate study through intensive research experiences with faculty mentors.
♦ National Association of Geoscience Teachers NAGT works to raise the quality of and emphasis on teaching the geosciences at all levels.
