Geocoding Research
Overview
My research to improve and explain the accuracy associated with geocoding.

- Most approaches use a single resolution of data, subject, and time
-
Is not flexible
- New data layers need to be incorporated as the become available
If you are interested in our approach to solving some of these problems, please keep reading.
