2011 Best-paper awards The journal reinstituted the yearly best-paper awards. Due to breadth of topics published, two categories were created: ‘‘geoinformatics’’ and ‘‘geo-computing’’ (computational geosciences). The first category includes papers on subjects such as GIS, ontology, geomatics, data processing and the world-wide web; the second category includes topics such as geostatistics, soft computing, physical process modeling, geochemistry and geophysics. A call for nominations resulted in seven paper being considered by the awards committee from which three were selected. Congratulations to the authors. Best paper in geoinformatics
