This Issue - *Land Cover Mapping in Mexico /(Part 3 of 3)/*//and Some 
Other Good Things.

*BUT FIRST, WON'T YOU PLEASE HELP - Effects of Steep slope logging. *-- 
Cristina Hubbard writes, "At one point in time, I had an article or 
report on the effects of steep slope logging, but it seems to lost in 
the depths of my computer. Does anyone have access to data on this?" If 
you can help, please contact Cristina at Chrise forestweb.cg at gmail.com

*LAND COVER MAPPING IN MEXICO /(Part 3 of 3)./*This past May. Justin 
Fisher wrote "/I//am looking for a GIS land cover map for Mexico. The 
more recent the better, but will take anything. I am particularly 
interested in areas near (25 km) the coast from the TX border to the tip 
of the Yucatan peninsula."/Here are some sites that may be of interest.

*Authors Sought -*The GEOIST seeks to advance science and technology in 
geospatial technology related fields using education and other 
resources. The fields of interest of the GEOIST are the theory, concepts 
and techniques of science and engineering as they apply to the remote 
sensing of the earth, oceans, atmosphere and space as well as the 
processing, interpretation and dissemination of this information. 
*/Environmental Sustainability in Remote Sensing (ESRS) book/* welcomes 
the submission of manuscripts/ chapters that meet original scholarly 
high-quality work such as analytical, numerical or experimental results 
and physical analysis of processes of lasting scientific value..The 
target audience includes, but is not limited to, professionals, 
students, technicians, engineers and researchers with an interest in the 
field of Environmental Sustainability in Remote Sensing (ESRS). All 
manuscripts are reviewed by an editor and members of the Editorial 
Board. Decisions will be made as rapidly as possible and the book 
strives to return reviewers' comments to authors as quick as possible.
