Gregory M. Lauer

In 1999, Gregory M. Lauer completed research in geography at University of Canterbury titled “Poverty and hospital admissions in Christchurch, 1988–1998”. The degree designation differs between later published citations. The work investigated spatial associations between deprivation and hospital admissions in Christchurch. A subsequent peer-reviewed paper with Ross Barnett analysed geocoded admissions and deprivation indices. That article cites the thesis as MSc but also labels Lauer MA; the degree designation remains unresolved.
