What is Geographic Information Science (GISc)?
If you have ever used a digital map, such as those available from Google or MapQuest, you have used this technology.
Geographic Information Science (GISc) is the foundation of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). It is the general term for mapping technologies used by business, government, and education.
GISc integrates spatial data sets in the form of:
digital maps
digital aerial photos
remotely sensed imagery
global positioning system (GPS) coordinates
The technologies are used to assess, plan, and manage many facets of society, including:
agriculture
population growth
natural resource management
economic development
energy production and transmission
air and water pollution
business marketing and site location
access to medical care
city planning
building design
urban infrastructure
