Agenda |
|
| A geographic information system (GIS) is a valuable tool that can assist in decision-making and planning for refuges and other wildlife management areas. Participants work with GIS to learn planning and design of user-friendly systems for biologists and other natural resource professionals. Topics include project planning, coordination, data acquisition and management, analysis techniques, and successful implementation at a field site. Students use GIS software to work with data from their own refuge or area of interest. |
| College Credit |
2 semester hours |
