PAPER SPECIFICATIONS
Guidelines for Paper Submissions (Oral and Poster) This workshop will be structured around oral presentations (mostly 20 minutes in duration), in which the author should preview the subject (see suggested topics, below). The presentation can be supported by poster and/or computer demonstrations to provide the participants with more detail and understanding. To improve the meeting's usefulness, after the workshop we will provide each participant with a proceedings volume containing a brief paper that summarizes each oral and poster presentation. Therefore, a short paper is required of each oral and poster presenter!
The on-line version of the proceedings volume and summary for past workshops are available at http://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Info/dmt/. If you have any questions about the instructions, or the content of your proposed paper, please call or e-mail Dave Soller at the address information given below.

Cartographic techniques for creating paper and PDF-format geologic maps from field notes, manuscript maps, and map databases,
