WHAT IS GIS?

  • GIS is a geospatial technology that is used to create, manage, analyze, and map all types of digital data.

  • GIS connects data to a map, integrating location data (where things are) with all types of descriptive information (what things are like there). This provides a foundation for mapping and analysis that is used in science and almost every industry. 

  • GIS helps users understand patterns, relationships, and geographic context. The benefits include improved communication, management, and decision-making.
