Bibliographies in GIS Application Studies

Each semester, the graduate students in the Introduction to GIS class have an extra assignment, to write-up a short literature review in a domain application of interest and relevance to their respective thesis or dissertation topics. This semester, the graduate reading group will also contribute to this bibliography.

As a service to others, the graduate students have agreed that we can publish their bibliography on the Web. The topics are not comprehensive; however, the articles included under each topic are thought by the graduate student to be a particularly representative GIS application in the domain. Each semester we will add to this bibliography in hopes that it helps your research too.
