management community. The Spring 2019 issue is in preparation and we’d
love your input! Articles should be submitted to jporter@virginia.edu
by the Ides of March (15 March 2019). We would welcome contributions in all areas of environmental information management including feature articles, Tech Tips, reviews of books or articles and commentaries.
