| The Mapping Sciences Laboratory (MSL) serves
the entire college as a unit of Environmental Resources and Forest
Engineering. The MSL is located in the basement of Bray Hall,
principally in rooms 12, 13, and 14. The MSL is designed to meet
the software and hardware needs of faculty, staff, and students
in any of the disciplines related to mapping and geospatial analysis.
The MSL specializes in several GIS systems, remote sensing and
image processing , photogrammetry, and global positioning systems
(GPS) and surveying. The MSL maintains multiple data sets including
large numbers of topographic quadrangle maps (various scales),aerial
photographs, satellite images (TM, Radar, Emerge) and Digital
Elevation Models (DEMs). |

| The Quantitative Studies Laboratory (QSL)
is a university-based, computer resource facility designed to
exploit the technological advances made in the computing industry
as applied to natural resource problems. Areas into which we
regularly delve include: population dynamics and estimation,
modeling and simulation, Geographical Information Systems (GIS)
and the analysis of spatial data, applied natural resource management,
population viability analysis, and habitat suitability modeling |

|
| The Laboratory for Applied GIS is a unit
of the Faculty of Forestry which carries out basic and applied
research in the application of GIS technology to the areas of
Forest and Environmental analysis and management. It supports
PC based computing facilities for this work. Software includes
PC ARCINFO, ArcView (with Spatial Analysist, 3D Analyst) Map
Objects, IDRISI, and other systems. The lab works closely with
the NY State Department of Environmental Conservation, the Adirondack
Park Agency, the Tug Hill Commission and others with an interest
in applying GIS technology to their operations. The lab is located
in Room 414 Bray Hall. |
 |
| The objective of the CAV Lab is to support
the specialized computing needs of the Faculty of Landscape Architecture
as well as those of the entire campus faculty by providing hardware
and software not commonly available across campus. Dayton, the
Director and head computer geek, with the aid of Graduate Assistants,
have extended these goals and are shaping the CAV Lab to be a
broad based computer use resource as well. The CAVLab can help
you with graphic production, 3D modeling, document production,
video conferencing, and video and sound editing. |
