GIScience encompasses several main research themes. Starting from the 2002 Research Topics this exercise requires you to determine what are the main questions of one particular research challenges and to assess how these questions have been addressed in the mean time. We will determine your research challenge in class.

Start out by selecting a research challenge from the list at http://www.ucgis.org/priorities/research/2002researchagenda.htm

In around 100 words summarize the main questions. Add a discussion of research activities and how they have addressed research questions since 2002. This discussion should be at least 200 words long (a total of 300 words). Make sure to include references with web links whenever applicable.

Please post your summary and discussion to the course blog and send me an email.
