GIS is a multi-component system used to create, manage, analyze and disseminate data or information having a spatial component. You might want to view the ES214 course page lecture notes for an in-depth introduction to GIS and spatial analysis.
We currently support ArcGIS Desktop (version 10.6). The software is installed on the computers in Diamond 322 and Diamond 222. Note that Diamond 222 computers are restricted to students in a GIS-related course.
We also provide some support for QGIS and spatial analysis with R.
