11:00am: Geographic Information System (GIS) - The Spatial Initiative Open House (Room 282, Arts Building).
- A Geographic Information System (GIS) is computer-based technology that has become the standard tool for capturing, manipulating, analyzing and visualizing geographically referenced information. The Web changes everything, and GIS is no exception. The Spatial Initiative, a unit within the Office of the Vice-President Research, will demonstrate how GIS can touch your life everywhere. You can also explore several recent GIS applications running on web browser, iPad, and iPhone. Interested researchers can also engage The Spatial Initiative to learn more about how their own research might benefit from taking a spatial perspective as well as learn what we can offer in terms of technical and analytic expertise.
