GIS at the Biodiversity Center GIS (Geographic Information Systems) is an important tool for resource management and ecological research. UW Green Bay students have extensive opportunities to work with GIS in the classroom and in the field. The most current GIS software is available to UW Green Bay students, faculty and staff via the University computer network. The Geography program offers several courses in its use. The Biodiversity Center makes use of GIS in its hands-on resource management work and research projects. We are currently building a database of spatial information for the region served by the University. Topography, soils, surface waters and roads are just a few of the thematic data layers that have been obtained. GPS (the Global Positioning System) is an effective tool for converting field observations into new GIS layers. The Biodiversity Center has made considerable progress in implementing this aspect of the technology as well. The CACB is committed to advancing the use of GIS technology at UWGB. We feel that the best way to accomplish this is to continue the expansion of the spatial information database and to use these pages to communicate new developments as effectively as possible. |
