Integrated Mapping Assessment Project (IMAP)

IMAP, launched in January 1999 at the EMAN National Science Meeting, involves collecting maps (MacIver and Urquizo, 1999; 2000), functionally integrating different thematic surfaces and then analyzing and interpreting the spatial correlations. The maps are collected together at various scales from local to global, with the initial focus of the study on the pilot region of Ontario, where a plethora of detailed maps are already available. Using regional maps is also an important part of the project
