Abstract
Geographic information systems and related technologies have been used to analyze, interpret, and model scientific phenomena for over a deca de. With the introduction of a reviewed, integrated global data base, methods originally developed for regional study in the geosciences and biosciences can be applied to study the global environment and global change. In this article (Part I), we outline this approach to environ mental modeling with GIS, and illustrate the approach with several exa mples in the literature. In a companion article (Part II), we discuss a case history, based on adding functionality to a GIS.
