This is the home page for Geographic Information Technology teaching and research at ESF. This general GIT page will be amplified soon with links to pages describing the College's GIT resources...
- Courses, (now live)
- Faculty
- Facilities and
- Support
The course link will list available undergraduate and graduate courses for both semesters and provide links to both the instructor(s) and the registrar's listing of the courses.
The Faculty link will.list faculty and their specializations and will include links to their home pages.
The Facilities link will.list the departmental computing facilities and the College computing clusters.
The Support link will provide links to a number of sites useful toGIT users including links to many state and other organizations providing GIT data. Information on how to use GIT software on the Colleges computer clusters will be provided.
GIT at ESF
Geographic Information Technology
GIT (Geographic Information Technology) includes these technologies:
- Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
- Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and
- Remote Sensing Technologies including aerial and satellite image analysis (RST)
Courses in GIT are taught in many Departments at ESF and range from introductory to Advanced and from applied to theoretical.
Facilities for using and studying these technologies are widely distributed on campus. GIS software ESRI (ArcGIS and its exgtensions) and Clark Lab (IDRISI) are available in all the Colleges computing clusters and ArcGIS is on almost every computer on campus. Student 1 year ArcGIS (CD) licenses are available from several Faculty. Various software packages for RST-based analysis and a range of GPS equipment is available in many departments.
The campus organization that shepherd's most GIT activity on campus is the Council for Geospatial Modeling and Analysis or CGMA (pronounced as Sigma) and is composed of faculty and staff from many of the College's Departments. CGMA's mission is to support and advance the use of GIT in campus teaching and research in the many fields that are part of the College Departments
