Graph Theory and Geography
Theoretical, methodological, and empirical contributions regarding networks within the context of graph theory constitute a valuable interface between geography and mathematics. Seeking to assess mathematical network geography’s past, present, and future, this article addresses such research and literature by discussing new knowledge produced from networked geographic phenomena—especially Erdös collaboration graphs depicting mentorships or author…

Diffusion and Use of Geographic Information Technologies
Reactive Data Structures for Geographic Information Systems
Following a general introduction to geographic information systems (GIS), this study gives an overview of known spatial access methods and presents several new structures: multi-object BSP-tree, KD2B-tree, Sphere-tree, BLG-tree, Reactive BSP-tree, and Reactive-tree. The Reactive BSP-tree and Reactive-tree are geometric structures which take multiple levels of detail into account. They are reactive data structures which form the basis of a seamles…
Computerized Environmental Modelling
From the Publisher: Teaches the basics of computer-based modeling without the need to first teach computer programming. Provides a solid foundation in order to understand and manage complex systems. Contains a succinct overview of environmental systems as well as a hands-on guide to spreadsheets and modeling. Features topical examples of environmental models such as meteorological, ocean, hydrological and extinction
Maps ex Machina
A information system (GIS) is software that uses maps interactively with an underlying database. Using a GIS requires mastery of theoretical and practical elements. The focus here is the stage in obtaining information when the user goes line. There are GISS of as many different types as there are types of computers -- from those on a local area network in a traditional academic setting to those on a far-flung network of field-workers using laptop…
Environmental Modeling with GIS
Structural Models in the Subterranean World
FOR many years geographers have employed various indexes based on the ideas and concepts of graph theory to measure connectivity and other facets of network analysis. They have noted the limits of these indexes and have sought other tools, some, such as those drawing on combinatorial topology, intimately related to graph theory but others farther afield (Garrison 1960; Nystuen and Dacey 1961; Tinkler 1988). One difficulty with applying mathematic…

An Application of Graphical Analysis to Semidesert Soils
Geometric models often contain elements of complex geographic processes. The shape of the curve selected to model a specific process can be crucial in determining interpretations. To illustrate this relationship we use the graphical analysis of chaos theory as a geometric model and apply it to the complex process of semidesert-soil production. This application suggests strategies for choosing when human intervention to improve soil production mig…
Street Geometry and Flows
Deadly collisions between vehicles and people or between vehicles are a fact of urban life. A geometric approach to reducing the potential for collisions rests on using the symmetry of the underlying street pattern to sort antagonistic flows into separate channels and on disrupting that symmetry to refine the separation to the level of bicyclist and pedestrian. This disruption is part of a non-Euclidean, hyperbolic street geometry. U RBAN streets…

Geometry of Boundary Exchanges
The geometric concept of self-similarity, from fractal geometry, may be used to compress portions of long, linear boundaries separating contrasting landuse types, like lake and shore or forest and meadow, into small, compact regions. This process is applied to maps of an actual location on the northern shore of Lake St. Clair and to a hypothetical map of a national forest. Using fractal geometry to determine boundaries can offer visitors to such …
Geography of City Terrain Based on Bus Routes
A geography of city terrain, based on bus routes, supplies information about steepness that is vital to maintenance of equipment. This article presents a technique to determine vertical profiles of bus routes to evaluate topography and service demands in terrain stress on vehicles. A N arbitrary abstract bus-route network, superimposed on the undulating surface of a city, would logically follow lines of lowest topographic gradient when minimal te…
Fractals Take a Central Place
The geometry of central place theory is shown to be a (small) proper subset of the geometry of fractal curves: curves of fractional dimension which have only recently been displayed in a graphically provocative manner as computer-generated images (Mandelbrot 1977; 1983). The exact procedure for making this correspondence between a theory from economics and geography with one from pure mathematics is displayed in the text. It lends itself to repli…
Early Thematic Mapping in the History of Cartography
In this soundly constructed, well referenced, and beautifully illustrated book, Professor Robinson has demonstrated a growing sense of scholarly purpose within the history of cartography.--J. B. Harley, Times Higher Educational Supplement
