A Critical Review of GIS Uses Related to the United States Air Force Environmental Work

Abstract

This paper describes and assesses the uses of Geographical Information System (GIS) and methods that provide inputs to GIS to aid environmental decision-making in many aspects of environmental risk analysis (R/A) under the USAF initiative for environmental work. Sound science and reliable 'tools' used in environmental work to calculate risk and to reduce the often-large uncertainties in environmental and health risk analysis can be coupled with GIS.
