Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

GIS have become a rapidly growing field that allows people to solve & model real world situations by incorporating spatial and tabular data. GIS operates on many levels and has become an essential tool for most urban and resource planning and management organizations. In this section I include helpful online resources, information about GIS, and various samples (I also have another website fully dedicated to GIS: CanadianGIS.com).

“In cartography, as in medicine, art and science are inseparable. The perfect map blends art and science into an effective tool of visual communication.” ~ Dr. Keith Harries
