Abstract
The paper describes some geographical applications of a parallel GP code which is run on a Cray T3D 512 processor supercomputer to create new types of well performing mathematical models. A series of results are described which allude to the potential power of the method for which there are many practical applications in spatial data rich environments where there are no suitable existing models and no soundly based theoretical framework on which to base them.
