• Locational aspects of road accident analysis

Dr. Brodsky has submitted a manuscript to GeoSpatial Solutions on the use of spatial statistics and GIS in traffic accident analysis (map of Houston). His article on the use of GIS in forensic research is currently under review by the Professional Geographer, and has received conditional acceptance. He is working on a paper about the use of maps as memorabilia. This research will demonstrate that mapping can aid recollection and provide a stimulus for retelling incidents in one's personal life. He also has a paper on biblical geography titled "Did Abram Wage a Just War" forthcoming the journal The Jewish Bible Quarterly.
