Recent IAMG annual conferences have emphasized mathematical modelling and simulation through the geosciences (IAMG'2001, Cancun), Creation, Management, Distribution, Access and Exploitation of Digital Spatial Data (IAMG'2002, Berlin) and Analysis, Modelling and Simulation of Geological Hazards (IAMG'2003, Portsmouth). IAMG'2004 will be held together with IGC in Florence.

In Toronto, IAMG'2005 will highlight GIS and Spatial Analysis including new theories, methods and applications of mathematical geology and spatial information systems for solving complex problems in earth systems, natural resource management and environmental assessment whilst also providing a programme of symposia of sufficient breadth to attract state-of-the-art contributions from across the full range of mathematical geology. Development and application of spatial analysis and modelling theory and techniques have been one of the main focuses of IAMG since its creation. The integration of spatial analysis including geostatistical techniques and other modelling techniques with geographical information systems (GIS) has not only significantly advanced GIS technology but also increased the usefulness and effectiveness of mathematical modelling techniques in solving geo-problems. In order to solve complex spatial problems using GIS, more sophisticated mathematical techniques have been developed and integrated with the GIS. The methods include not only conventional statistical and stochastic ones but non-linear and chaotic approaches for solving problems in geology, mineral resource assessment, geological hazards and environmental impact prediction that are related to chaotic, singular and non-linear dynamics.
