In 1996, John P. Wilson founded the journal Transactions in GIS, published by Wiley-Blackwell. He has served as its editor-in-chief since its inception. Previously Wilson has served on the editorial boards of Applied Geography and the Annals of the Association of American Geographers and also currently serves on the editorial board of the Annals of the Association of American Geographers Review of Books.
A common theme in John P. Wilson’s wide-ranging research interests is the modeling of environmental systems and makes extensive use of GIS software tools, fieldwork, spatial analysis techniques and computer models. His publications include three books: Terrain Analysis: Principles and Applications (John Wiley and Sons, 2000), Handbook of Geographic Information Science (Blackwell Publishers, 2007), and Environmental Applications of Digital Terrain Modeling (John Wiley and Sons, 2018).
