Brenner considers the impacts of this paper, in light of subsequent Maya paleoclimate/paleoenvironmental studies published in the last four decades. This special issue considers physical geography in the Maya Lowlands, a tropical, mostly low-lying carbonate platform in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and parts of Honduras and El Salvador. Indeed, much of what we know about this region's environments (i.e., its physical geography and paleoenvironment) derives from work sponsored by archaeology projects funded by the National Geographic Society, the National Science Foundation, the UK Overseas Development Agency, and many other entities, including early support from the Carnegie Institution. Garrison and colleagues overview the use of lidar survey methods in the Maya region, highlighting how Maya archaeology has aided progress in physical geography. [Extracted from the article]
