The document summarizes topics from the AAG Annual Meeting in Boston from April 5-9, 2017. It discusses exploring abandoned GIS research to augment applied geography education. It provides examples of comparing ground water DRASTIC maps and what can be derived from a retrospective approach to GIS technology. It also outlines topical GIS research areas and how GIS technology and GIScience can be used, including through integrated terrain units, biophysical units, and land use allocation models. Finally, it raises the question of how to teach these topics.
