Full Papers

We will not publish long abstracts this year.

Mathematical Geosciences will publish a post-conference special issue for IAMG 2022. Note that authors are encouraged to submit their work to any of the four IAMG journals even if their work is not selected in this special issue:

During the submission process, we recommend authors to mention that the work (or part of it) is presented at IAMG 2022 and to also mention the session name, as this will help the editorial process.

Poster Teaser

All poster presenter will have the opportunity for short (max 2 min) teaser presentation. You can use 1 slide (pdf format), which needs to be submitted through the contribution management system ahead of the conference. The aim of a teaser presentation is to get people interested in coming to see your poster. Why is the result important? Is this poster interesting for me? It is NOT a mini presentation of the content.

Slides for Oral contributions

Slides need to be uploaded ahead of the conference in pdf, ppt, pptx, or odp format. For other formats please contact the office with example files way ahead of time. The projectors will use 16/9 format. There will be no slide template provided.

Some general recommendations for oral presentations

  • Make sure your present your research question and what you are doing before explaining how you do it.
  • Best scientific presentations develop a narrative to tell a story and stress the main points.
  • Avoid writing full sentences on slides: telegraphic style and keywords are preferable
  • Use (and don't abuse) animations to synchronize your speech and what the audience sees on the slides
  • Make sure eveyone can read the text and legends even when sitting at the back of the room
