A 256-page bibliography compiled by Robert Lee Hadden and Steven G. Minson at the Army Geospatial Center of the US Army Corps of Engineers, with a report date of July 28, 2010 and a stated coverage of 1900 to 2010. The preface ties it to the magnitude 7.0 earthquake of January 2010, with an epicenter about 15 km southwest of Port-au-Prince. An introduction of about 20 pages describes Haiti's physical features: the five mountain ranges, the Plaine du Nord (2,000 square km), the Plateau Central, the Artibonite and Cul-de-Sac plains, the islands, caves, seismic history, climate, mining, agriculture, transportation and trafficability, water and sanitation, and rivers. A guide explains how to obtain cited items through services such as GeoRef, the Library of Congress, NTIS, OCLC and Selected Water Resources Abstracts. The rest is an alphabetical list of citations, many with descriptors, abstracts and library accession numbers.
