Cartographic Association. It provides succinct information about the organisation The hallmark of the ICA has always been for the period 2011–2015. inclusiveness, and the organisation strives for global reach and international inclusion. The International Cartographic Association What can be said about the ICA is that it is (ICA) is the pre-eminent international body focused on cooperation and collaboration in for Cartography and Geographic Information the wide field of Cartography and GI (GI) Science. It is the world authoritative Science. body for Cartography, the discipline dealing with the conception, production, dissemination and study of maps. Its Georg Gartner mission is to promote the discipline and President, International Cartographic profession of Cartography in an international Association context. Since being founded in 1959, ICA has worked with national and international governmental and commercial bodies, and with other international societies, to achieve its aims. To do this an Executive Committee is elected every four years at a General Assembly. The Executive Committee, under the leadership of the President, develops and implements plans for conferences, publications, links to sister societies and outreach programmes. The ICA has developed a scientific research programme, which addresses a number of areas: • Geographic Information; • Metadata and SDIs; • Geospatial Analysis and Modelling; • Usability; • Geovisualization and Visual Analytics; • Map Production; • Cartographic Theory; • History of Cartography and GI Science; • Neocartography; • Education; • Society. This programme is conducted through Commissions and Working Groups. The Commissions and Working Groups hold regular fora and publish books and special 5 6 Section I – Strategic Documents 7 8 Foreword1 The International Cartographic Association is led by its Executive Committee, which undertakes the plans and activities that are endorsed by the General Assembly of member nations for implementation in the four years following each General Assembly. The Executive Committee is supported by the Chairs and vice-Chairs of Commissions and Working Groups, the Editor of ICA News, the Chairs of the Publications Committee, the Awards Committee, and the Statutes Committee. During the twenty-first century, the plans and activities of the Association have been directed by the Strategic Plan. The document you are now reading is a new edition of the Strategic Plan. It builds upon the previous plan (2003-2011) which included a review of the Association and provided a considered framework for developing the Association and advancing its aims. The previous work included an independent analysis by former ICA Vice-President David Rhind, presented at the 15th Conference/9th General Assembly in Bournemouth, UK, in 1991, and published in the Proceedings (Rhind, 1991). Professor Rhind’s ideas and earlier contributions to EC discussions led to various changes, including a new set of aims, which is still in place today. This was followed by the publication of a formal Strategic Plan for 2003-2011, prepared by the ICA Executive Committee, with input from the Commission Chairs, and edited by former ICA President Michael Wood. A preliminary version was reviewed by former ICA President Joel Morrison, former ICA Vice-President Judy Olson and David Rhind. The Strategic Plan for 2003-2011 was adopted by the Delegates at the ICA General Assembly in Durban, South Africa in 2003. This document contains the Association’s Strategic Plan for 2011-2019. It further develops the 2003-2011 Strategic Plan, and is presented as a set of guidelines for the management and development of the ICA over the next eight years. This Strategic Plan was developed by the 2007-2011 Executive Committee, with inputs from Commission and Working Group Chairs and vice-Chairs. The initial document was further developed by a review group consisting of ICA Secretary-General & Treasurer David Fairbairn, former ICA Secretary-General & Treasurer Ferjan Ormeling, former ICA President Bengt Rystedt and Michael Wood. The Executive Committee of the International Cartographic Association presented this 2011- 2019 Strategic Plan for approval at the Association’s 15th General Assembly, Paris, France, on July 8th, 2011. It was subsequently endorsed by delegates

  • Letter from the GUEST Editors
    LETTER FROM THE GUEST EDITORS This special mountain cartography issue of Cartographic Perspectives features papers by members of the Commission on Mountain Cartography, a special interest group of the International Cartographic Association (ICA). The commission focuses on a range of issues related to the mapping of mountains—peaks, cliffs, scree, glaciers, and various other types of rough terrain. Mapping such extreme places presents challenges. For example, standard mapping techniques often do not apply, and collecting good geospatial data of high mountains is an ongoing challenge despite technology advances. There also is a cultural aspect to mountain mapping. Many mountain dwellers live under the threat of gravity-induced natural hazards, from avalanches to mudslides to damn bursts, which maps can help them better understand and deal with. But mountains have also long been a source of inspiration for those who visit and map them alike, prompting cartographic innovation. The well-known maps of Heinrich Berann, Richard Edes Harrison, Eduard Imhof, Hal Shelton, and Bradford Washburn highlight just some of the contributions by those engaged in mountain cartography to the profession as a whole. Most papers that follow are a sampling of those presented at the 2008 Mountain Cartography workshop at Lenk, Switzerland. Since its founding in 1999, the Commission on Mountain Cartography has held biannual workshops at various mountain venues. To date these have included the Austrian Alps (2000), Mount Hood in the USA (2002), the Spanish Pyrenees (2004), the Julian Alps of Slovenia (2006), the Swiss Alps (2008), and the Carpathian Mountains of Romania (2010). The workshops have attracted an increasing number of presenters, reaching almost 60 participants at the last two workshops in 2008 and 2010.

Pike ABSTRACT A compilation of over 2100 references provides one-source access to the diverse literature on geomorphometry, the quantification of land-surface form. The report also defines the discipline, describes its scope and practice, discusses goals and applications, and identifies related fields. The bibliography documents the current, computer-driven state-of-art of geomorphometry and furnishes the historical context for understanding its evolution. Most entries address at least one of ten aspects of the science its conceptual framework, enabling technology, topographic data and their spatial ordering, terrain attributes in vertical and horizontal domains, scale dependence and self-organization of topography, redundancy of descriptive parameters, terrain taxonomy, and the interpretation of land-surface processes.
