This is a blog following Cam Yearty's GIS experience at Mercer University. For those of you who are unfamiliar: A Geographic Information System (GIS), is any system that captures, stores, analyzes, manages, and presents data that is linked to location. Technically, a GIS is a system that includes mapping software and its application to remote sensing, land surveying, aerial photography, mathematics, photogrammetry, geography, and tools that can be implemented with GIS software. Still, many refer to "Geographic Information System" as "GIS" even though it doesn't cover all tools connected to topology (Thanks, Wikipedia).
In this class we will be learning the basics of GIS as well as participating in a project using the skills that we have learned. I am sure that this will be an interesting experience.
