Review Paper
Due 5th Week
You are required to find an article in a peer-reviewed journal in your area of study (Geology, Biology, Civil Engineering, etc) that uses GIS in a fundamental way. The goal is to find an article that uses some form of spatial data analysis (SDA) incorporationg or coupled to GIS.
Your review should be a one to two page summary of the techniques used in the article. In order to demonstrate your understanding of the techniques involved you should show how this technique could be applied to another set of data that you are interested in.
We will discuss these articles in class, so you should come prepared to explain the techniques to your fellow students during our discussion.
The Web of Science is one good place to start your search. The reference librarians should also be able to help you. Spending time in the library is good for you :-)
