News and updates about the AAG Annual Meeting In This Issue Geography, GIScience, and Health Emerging Themes Important Dates About the Meeting CALL FOR PAPERS Geography, GIScience, and Health: Spatial Frontiers of Health Research and Practice   Building on several recent AAG initiatives together with the National Institutes of Health in this research area, these sessions will explore new research frontiers in health and social environments, and also address progress generated by the AAG Initiative for an NIH-wide Geospatial Infrastructure for Health Research. These AAG initiatives have generated an increased awareness by health researchers as well as geographers of the core role that geography and GIScience can play in addressing global health needs, both in research and in practice. Sessions will include leading medical and health researchers, and we encourage geographers active in these areas of research to present their work.   We welcome participation from geographers, GIScientists, health researchers, and other scientists working at the frontiers of geography, GIScience, and health at the AAG Annual Meeting in Los Angeles, April 9-13, 2013. Papers on all aspects of health research and its intersections with geography or GIScience are welcome.    For more information, visit www.aag.org/annualmeeting.    To participate in the Geography, GIScience, and Health sessions, please submit your abstract at: www.aag.org/annualmeeting. When you receive confirmation of a successful abstract submission, please then forward this confirmation to geohealth@aag.org. The abstract deadline is October 24, 2012.  Emerging Themes  Each year, the AAG identifies a few themes for its Annual Meeting to help focus discussion and provide a fresh and engaging structure to the conference program. Attendees are also invited to develop themes relevant to the meeting's location or influenced by political and intellectual trends within the discipline.
