Abstract
Environmental concern has prompted greater use of assessment procedures to monitor the potential impacts development proposals on the environment; one such approach has been the application of expert systems. Expert systems are a branch of computer science known as artificial intelligence.

This paper reports on a number of expert systems which have been developed as environmental assessment tools, indicating the diverse approaches to the subject adopted by the different developers of such systems.
