Cartographica: The International Journal for Geographic Information and Geovisualization
Cartographica delivers cutting-edge international research in all aspects of cartography (including the production, design, use, cognitive understanding, and history of maps), geovisualization, and GIScience. Cartographica offers unprecidented diversity and breadth of research and has featured the work of influential authors such as J.B. Harley, Mark Monmonier, Mark Kumler, Denis Wood, Muki Haklay, and David Mark .
In addition to publishing peer-reviewed articles, the journal also publishes both special issues and single-topic monographs on a regular basis.
The Canadian Cartographic Association was founded in 1975 with the aims of:
- Promoting interest in maps and related cartographic materials
- Furthering the understanding and knowledge of maps by encouraging research in the field of cartography, both historical and current
- Providing for the exchange of ideas and information and for the discussion of mutual concerns, through meetings and by publications
- Advancing education in cartography and in the use of maps

Editor
Nigel Waters received a BA with First Class Honours from Cambridge University in 1972 and an MA and PhD from the University of Western Ontario in 1973 and 1977, respectively. He began his academic career at the University of Calgary in 1975, retiring as Full Professor in 2007. Since that time he has been employed as Full Professor in the Department of Geography and Geoinformation Science at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, where he also directs the Center of Excellence in Geographic Information Science. From 1979 to 1984 he was editor of the BC Geographical Series. In 1987 and 1991 he co-edited and contributed to Cartographica Monographs 36 ( Atlases for Schools: Design Principles and Curriculum Perspectives ) and 43 ( GIS Education and Training ). He has contributed the Edge Nodes column to GeoWorld since 1989 and has research interests in GIS and its application to spatial analysis, transportation planning and safety, medical geography, habitat modelling, electoral geography, and crime mapping. In fall 2010 he was the Henrietta Harvey Distinguished Lecturer at Memorial University of Newfoundland.
