An introduction to the basics of a GIS and remote sensing.

1. Introducing GIS and Remote Sensing Introduction to Mapping and GIS

2. Rowan University Think about all the activity occurring though out a landscape. How can we map, manage and analyze all that is going on? GIS!

3. US Census Data in Excel Think about keeping information about phenomenon on a landscape. How could you do it?

4. US Census Data in GIS GIS organizes that data with a map. But GIS is much more….

5. Data Types Aspatial data—data not tied to a location on the earth ’s surface Spatial data —data associated with a location on earth Much of the information we deal with daily has some spatial component.

15. Not Just Computer Cartography

16. Core of GIS = “Layers”
