BIO

Dr. Lindquist's research interests in Geography began in the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to problems in urban transportation planning, most notably in mass transit ridership forecasting. This work earned him national recognition from the Institute of Transportation Engineers.

Since then his research interests have expanded into the application of GIS to problems in location-allocation modeling, accessibility to health care, and freight transportation. His location-allocation software won recognition from the Association of American Geographers. He is affiliated with the GISAG Center, the Urban Affairs Center and the Intermodal Transportation Institute at The University of Toledo. He also works with the Midwest Regional University Transportation Center at the University of Wisconsin and with the Great Lakes Maritime Research Institute at The University of Wisconsin-Superior and University of Minnesota-Duluth.

Dr. Lindquist was a member of the Northwest Ohio research team in the Global Change in Local Places project sponsored by NASA and the Association of American Geographers. He is also engaged in the Upper Midwest Freight Corridor Study. His course offerings have included Introduction to GIS, GIS Applications, Advanced GIS, Digital Cartography, Quantitative Methods and Mapping, Transportation, and Location Analysis.
