Geographical Information Science (GIS) provides powerful solutions to real-world problems using the world’s most advanced technologies.
GIS captures, stores, manages and displays data related to positions on the Earth’s surface so you can better understand spatial patterns and relationships.
Every day around the world, GIS is used to solve complex problems. As a result, it is becoming integrated into almost every discipline.
From population dynamics, estate planning, logistics management, public health surveillance, and telecommunications to tracking deforestation, environmental management and predicting climate change – GIS is changing how the world works.
