A Temporal GIS Approach to Characterizing Geographical Dynamics
(2011)Temporal GIS research has historically focused on change, motion, and events. This research introduces a framework to represent concepts of fluid kinematics with the emphasis on the concept of flows. General circulation ... -
Analysis of Spatial Uncertainty in LiDAR-derived Building Data and Uncertainty Propagation in Modeling of Urban Atmospheric Dispersion
(2009)Results of environmental models (EMs) are often used to assist decision making. However, EM outcomes vary significantly with different input data, model parameters and model assumptions. Therefore, informed decision making ... -

Continuous and Adaptive Cartographic Generalization of River Networks
(2012)The focus of our research is on a new automated smoothing method and its applications. Traditionally, the application of a smoothing method to a collection of polylines produces a new smoothed dataset. Although the new ... -
Geographies of Knowledge in the International Fragrance Industry
(2009)This study examines the international fragrance industry according to the practices of knowing and repositories and spatialities of knowledge. It is based on qualitative data from research interviews with industry experts ... -
INTEGRATION OF GEOSPATIAL TECHNIQUES IN THE ASSESSMENT OF VULNERABILITY OF TREES TO ICE STORMS IN NORMAN, OKLAHOMA
(2010)Every year, natural hazards such as hurricanes, floods, wild fires, -
UNDERSTANDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS) AS A PROFESSIONAL FIELD
(2012)This dissertation is based on an exploratory study of GIS as it has evolved as a professional field. This study is relevant because it provides a fundamentally different approach to study professionals within a particular ...
