Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Welcome
What is GIS?(Click Here)
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is an interdisciplinary field of study closely linked with geography, cartography, spatial analysis, and information technology.
GIS has become an indispensable tool for spatial analysis used in many industries such as:
- public health – monitoring water quality or disease outbreaks
- business – new site locations and customer analysis
- emergency services – planning ambulance routes or fire monitoring
- public works – monitoring the condition of bridges and roads
- real estate – identifying properties for clients
- environmental concerns – mapping wildlife habitat
