Geographically embedded networks (GENets) are systems of physical
and abstract linked relationships contained wholly or partially within
geographic space. The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the question, “what are the particular characteristics of networks in geography?” To uncover such properties, a series of network case studies is ex...
Geographic data and tools are essential in all aspects of emergency management: preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. Geographic information created by amateur citizens, often known as volunteered geographic information, has recently provided an interesting alternative to traditional authoritative information from mapping agencies and c...

This concern, however, is rapidly being addressed; standard and advanced geographic information system (GIS) capabilities are being developed for virtual globes--t...
Quantitative relationships describing the nature of surface drainage networks have been used to formu- late flood characteristics, sediment yield, and the evolution of basin morphology. Progress has been slow in applying these quantitative descriptors to karst flow systems. Developing geographic information sys- tem (GIS) technology has provided to...
