Mobile Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for Humanitarian Demining
The threat of landmines and other explosive remnants of war is a serious concern around the world. While landmines demand attention due to the thousands of civilian casualties they cause each year, perhaps even more shocking is the fear they instill in local populations, inhibiting movement and …

Socioeconomic topography : inner city economic development and Geographic Information Systems
… and map them. The advancing technology of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has made it easier to apply raster (grid cell or bit pattern) analysis to studying urban spatial patterns. A map that shows socioeconomic phenomena via rasterization and smoothing processing is called …

Data capture of geometric data for local authorities' geographic information systems
… of geometric data. The geometric data for a Geographical Information System (GIS) at a local authority or municipality consist of a number of different data sets. These include inter alia: the cadastral information, zoning information, servitudes, building lines, the outlines of improvements …

A systems approach to the development of large Geographic Information Systems
Large computer-based information systems seldom achieve unqualified success. The major problem is organisational rather than technical, hence to achieve greater success in system implementation greater emphasis must be given to organisational issues than to technology. Current practise, however, …

Electrical Distribution Modeling:An Integration of Engineering Analysis and Geographic Information Systems
… distribution engineering analysis with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The 37-Node IEEE Feeder model was used as the base distribution system in this study. It was modeled separately, both in software capable of unbalanced load-flow and in an industry-standard GIS environment. Both …

Modeling forest stand structure using geostatistics, geographic information systems, and remote sensing
… are measured at single point locations. However, information, such as basal area and timber volume, is usually required for the entire forest. This leads to methods of interpolating data and estimating the mean value within the area. Forest stand structure is traditionally mapped as polygons. This …

Herbarium infrastructure development and ecological applications of specimens using geographic information systems
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allow for herbarium data to be used for new scientific research and also for the greater efficiency of the traditional uses of herbaria. My research uses the resources of both the herbarium at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UCHT) and partnering …

Imaging the mantle in southwestern, Utah using geochemistry, and geographic information systems
… defined as the transition zone; Geochemistry and geographic information systems (GIS) define the geometry and orientation of a mantle boundary trending approximately E-W, almost perpendicular to the crustal boundary. This study suggests that there is no genetic link between the mantle boundary and …
