Dana Tomlin Charles Dana Tomlin is an author, professor, and originator of Map Algebra, a vocabulary and conceptual framework for classifying ways to combine map data to produce new maps. Tomlin's teaching and research focus on the development and application of geographic information systems (GIS). He is currently a visiting professor at University of Pennsylvania School of Design and Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies and the Conway School of Landscape Design, having also taught at Harvard Graduate School of Design and at Ohio State University School of Natural Resources.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=University of Pennsylvania )〕 His coursework in Landscape Architecture has extensively included GIS and cartographic modeling applications. ==Contributions to the Field of GIS== Tomlin’s contributions to GIS extend across a number of years and a wide variety of applications. As a student at Harvard University in the mid-1970s, he developed the Tomlin Subsystem of IMGRID as a master’s thesis. Many analytical functions in IMGRID were later integrated into Imagine, a satellite image processing application developed by ERDAS. As a doctoral student at Yale University in the late 1970s, and as a junior faculty member at Harvard in the early 1980s, Tomlin developed MAP (the Map Analysis Package), one of the most widely used programs of its kind. The open source GRASS application derives many of its raster analytical capabilities directly from MAP and was extensively used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other federal agencies throughout the late 1980s. Tomlin’s work on MAP has also been directly inherited by a long list of other software packages, including, OSUMAP, MAP II, MapFactory, MFWorks, MacGIS, IDRISI, MapBox, pMap, MGE and IMGRID. With funding provided by a corporate donor in 1990, Tomlin led an informal group of City and Regional Planning doctoral students at the University of Pennsylvania in founding the (Cartographic Modeling Laboratory ). The Cartographic Modeling Lab conducts academic research and urban and social policy analysis using GIS and spatial research applications. Tomlin has been co-director of the lab since 1995.
