The year ahead offers better opportunities than we’ve had since the financial crash of 2008. But it does need members to engage in events and in their journal. Tell us how we can improve and how you can contribute to the editorial agenda.

欢迎来到2014年，这是一年的承诺。世界经济正在显示由美国领导的改善迹象。在英国，联合政府说服了自己，大多数媒体正在我们的经济正在改善。我们将看到。更接近测量和地理器，我们将在伦敦五月底期待新活动。GEO业务可能是我们业务的真正改变游戏规则的人，但它需要个人以及在整个地理空间部门运作的专业和其他组织的参与。更多详细信息http://geobusinessshow.com/for the offshore sector there is Oceanology to look forward to in March (www.oceanologyinternational.com） - 那里有很多机会。

两个主题必然会通过GW今年:BIM和无人机系统(UAS)。Both are in this issue, with BIM especially making a strong presence through Mollenhauer’s work at the Beverley Hills Center (page 12). For UAS (aka UAVs) we may yet have to bow to popular media and call them drones so our clients know what we’re talking about.

减少传感器的大小正在帮助发展UAS的市场。我们已经看到了一个多用途的跨国公司扫描仪，现在由轻度高光谱传感器的库伯特（Cubert）开发，是在农业和土地管理部门的机会的迹象（第20页）。

去年12月初，有一个可悲的消息，即作家Andro Linklater去世了，就像他的最新书在美国出版一样。Andro的上一本书Measuring Americawas a bestseller, explaining lucidly the connection between the emergence of a modern economy and standards of measurement. His latest work,拥有地球，focuses on how individual land ownership has transformed economies over the last quarter millennia, while economies that have kept communal or monarchical systems have languished. We shall bring you a review in the next issue ofGW。

Finally, here are some of the themes we want to follow over the coming year inGW。Can you contribute with an article? Any style is welcome – a short news story, a brief case study or a longer paper:

GIS & Geomatics:地理学在GIS中的作用。也许杰克·丹蒙德（Jack Dangermond）关于GIS和网络制图的演讲（第18页）可能是一个起点。
测量的建筑调查，BIM和设施管理：This is bound to be a recurrent topic during the year and we shall try to keep you informed on the progress of RICS’s own BIM. But there is much more to talk about and to share best practice. Will cheaper scanners be a trigger for as-built BIMs?
EDM＆Optics与数码相机：This is an opportunity to look at some of the latest data capture tools that rely on photogrammetric solutions as well as the integration of scanning technology in total stations.
Maps, Land Registration and Surveys:他们可以和解吗？对于许多实践测量师来说，这是一个棘手的话题。请您的观点。
Measuring and Monitoring the Seabed:New tools for new datasets - time to get wet.
Laser Scanners:Is there anything they can’t do? Tell us about your apps and what works and what pushes the envelope just a bit too far.
数据：Where to keep it? On your desktop? In your pocket? Or in the cloud? Views on managing and keeping data secure please.
Colliding Worlds：在一个私有化的世界中保持专业人士，其中利润，销售目标和公关是驱动因素。
GIS和地图中的地图：映射通常是危机时期（无论是由军队，非政府组织还是媒体）所需的第一个资源。但是，过时或规模不佳的地图会影响意见和关键决策吗？
