At least 2 years ago, I spotted a book in a used bookstore on GIS. I had heard of it being used by Forestry Majors while at OSU as a key tool to mapping tree lines and forest growth patterns. It interested me, because of its GPS component. “How cool would it be to track something in the physical world and overlay it on a map?”
Now, as I am surrounded by Advancement Office requests for data, I began to consider the possibility of GIS as a tool for visualizing select populations. So, I pulled out the book and am reading it with a new purpose in mind. I will blog about key points in the area of GIS, and specific applications when I can. “GIS, it’s not just for forests!” I did not know that.
