Geographic information system ( GIS ) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of geographical data.

The acronym GIS is sometimes used for geographical information science or geospatial information studies to refer to the academic discipline or career of working with geographic information systems.

In the simplest terms, GIS is the merging of cartography, statistical analysis, and database technology.

Generally, a GIS is custom-designed for an organization.

What goes beyond a GIS is a spatial data infrastructure, a concept that has no such restrictive boundaries.

GIS is a relatively broad term, that can refer to a number of technologies and processes, so it is attached to many operations, in engineering, planning, management, transport / logistics and analysis.

While the use of layers much later became one of the main typical features of a contemporary GIS, the photographic process just described is not considered to be a GIS in itself – as the maps were just images with no database to link them to.

There is also a special GIS center in Fenwick Library which conducts GIS drop-in sessions every week.

* Modern digital GIS maps such as ArcMap typically project north at the top of the map, but use math degrees ( 0 is east, degrees increase counter-clockwise ), rather than compass degrees ( 0 is north, degrees increase clockwise ) for orientation of transects.

Therefore, text placement is time-consuming and labor-intensive, so cartographers and GIS users have developed automatic label placement to ease this process.

TOXMAP is a Geographic Information System ( GIS ) that is part of TOXNET.

Since many factors are considered for landslide hazard mapping, GIS is an appropriate tool because it has functions of collection, storage, manipulation, display, and analysis of large amounts of spatially referenced data which can be handled fast and effectively.

Using satellite imagery in combination with GIS and on-the-ground studies, it is possible to generate maps of likely occurrences of future landslides.

* TOXMAP is a Geographic Information System ( GIS ) from the Division of Specialized Information Services of the United States National Library of Medicine ( NLM ) that uses maps of the United States to help users visually explore data from the United States Environmental Protection Agency's ( EPA ) Toxics Release Inventory and Superfund Basic Research Programs.

The project is planned to include an online mapping system that will enable users to perform GIS analysis and other tasks over the Internet.

In popular GIS software, data projected in latitude / longitude is often represented as a ' Geographic Coordinate System '.

The 185th Regiment is included in the Brigade Parachutists Folgore and is generally in charge of the training and preparation of units ; but it can be converted to other tasks depending on the technical and functional plan, from employment on land with the Commando Operations of Special Forces ( COFS ) and other units of river basin FS / FOS of the Army, with the Operating Group Incursori ( GOI ) of the Navy ( Marina Militare ), with the Incursori Unit of the Air Force and for some functions also with the Special Intervention Group ( GIS ) of the Police officers.

Other more specialized extensions are available from Esri and third parties for specific GIS needs.

The third floor has the Outdoor Studies gear room, the GIS lab, the chemistry lab and the biology / geology lab where there is a top notch aquarium system.

The methodology used during the tiger census of 2008 extrapolates site-specific densities of tigers, their co-predators and prey derived from camera trap and sign surveys using GIS.

The Geography Department has created a modern Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System ( RS / GIS ) unit ( as a Central facility ) during the Ninth Plan, for research, database development and the conduct of a Post-graduate Diploma course in RS / GIS.

There has been some criticism during the years on countries that have opened second registers like Norway, Germany ( GIS ) and Denmark ( DIS ).

* Fran Evanisko, American River College, lectures for Geography 20: " Cartographic Design for GIS ", Fall 2002

* Geography Markup Language ( GML )-XML based open standard ( by OpenGIS ) for GIS data exchange

Some courses include: Intro to GIS, Geography, Cartography, Geospatial Technology, GIS Policy, Spatial Statistics, Satellite Remote Sensing.

Geography and earth science increasingly rely on digital spatial data acquired from remotely sensed images analyzed by geographical information systems ( GIS ) and visualized on paper or the computer screen.

* Geography ( with GIS option )

These days most commercial-quality maps are made using software that falls into one of three main types: CAD, GIS and specialized illustration software.

A GIS can be thought of as a system — it digitally creates and " manipulates " spatial areas that may be jurisdictional, purpose, or application-oriented.

Hence, a GIS developed for an application, jurisdiction, enterprise, or purpose may not be necessarily interoperable or compatible with a GIS that has been developed for some other application, jurisdiction, enterprise, or purpose.

GIS applications are tools that allow users to create interactive queries ( user-created searches ), analyze spatial information, edit data in maps, and present the results of all these operations.

Data collected are tagged and recorded digitally for entry into a Geographic Information System ( GIS ) database.

These are labs designed to meet the needs of specific academic programs that have special equipment and software needs ( e. g., graphic design, computer science, GIS, CAD among others ).

GIS offers a superior method for landslide analysis because it allows one to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, and display large amounts of data quickly and effectively.

Using GIS, extremely detailed maps can be generated to show past events and likely future events which have the potential to save lives, property, and money.
