GIS and Topic Modeling
While topic modeling by itself has been an increasingly growing research field in the humanities and social sciences, where the use of social media and newspapers, in particular, have helped to identify many topical trends, GIS has only recently been employed more prominently in this area.

GIS and Karstic Cave Monitoring
GIS and remote sensing have been used to predict likely regions where caves can be found. GIS is also useful for estimating volume of cave area that are affected by erosional processes.
