NCGIA Technical Reports
Technical reports provided a means of quickly disseminating the substantive results of NCGIA research-initiative working groups and specialist research meetings to a rapidly expanding international community of scholars and to practitioners in government and industry. They feature software and technological advances in the rapidly expanding field of geographic information systems, and they address underlying theoretical constructs, mathematical and computational foundations, educational needs, and societal implications of geographic information science.
There are 122 publications in this collection, published between 1988 and 2015. Showing 1 - 50.
