Understanding ourselves, understanding our world
• GIS is an information system built upon spatial data, that allows us to explore the geography of
places and events in our world and the geographic relationships between phenomena.
• GIS applications range from simple mapping and asset management to scientific inquiry and education,
and abound in nearly every industry and scientific field you can imagine.
