to improved geospatial situational awareness. Geographic information systems (GIS) and GIS-based decision support systems are ubiquitous within current military forces, as well as civil and humanitarian organizations. Understanding the quality of geospatial data is fundamental to using it intelligently. A
Geospatial decision support systems for societal decision making
"... ABSTRACT While science provides reliable information to describe and understand the earth and its natural processes, it can contribute more. There are many important societal issues in which scientific information can play a critical role. Science can add greatly to policy and management decisions ..."

- Psychology and Aging
, 2006
"... Using a short-term longitudinal design, the authors investigated implications of 2 facets of motivational selectivity-restricting (to few goals) and focusing (on central and similar goals)-for goal-pursuit investment. Participants were 20 -69 years old (Time 1, N ϭ 177; Time 2, N ϭ 160). Results sh ..."
