[R-sig-Geo] case histories and scientific literature

[G. Allegri]

Hello everyone.
I'm writing a chapter of my thesis about open source software for
spatial analysis. I've looked for documented case histories and
scientific literature about the use of R in the fields of lanscape
analysis, soil science, environmental analysis, geology, etc.
Yet I haven't found anything of significance.
Does anyone can indicate me some examples?

Thanks,
Giovanni
