Geographers provide new insight into commuter megaregions of the US

(Dartmouth College) Geographers from Dartmouth College and the University of Sheffield provide new insight into the economic geography of commuter megaregions in the US, by using an empirical approach that combines visual interpretation with statistical analysis. These emerging 'megaregions' reflect the economic links woven by millions of commuters traveling to and from work each day. The findings appear in 'PLOS One' and shed light on an old geographic problem: how to divide space into coherent unit areas.
