An attempt is made to identify the strengths and weaknesses of individual methods and techniques which can be incorporated into environmental impact assessment procedures. Methods and techniques developed and used on several continents are analyzed for the role they could play if combined with others in an adaptive approach. The review does not attempt to evaluate procedures as complete systems for environmental impact analysis, but seeks to highlight the unique contributions of each method and technique. Several methods and techniques not previously reviewed in the environmental impact assessment literature are included, as in an extensive bibliography. 59 references, 11 figures.
