Data available upon request from Dawn Wright, dawn@dusk.geo.orst.edu (several Gb in size).Lab materials from the course GEO 465/565, Geographic Information Systems and Science. This intermediate level course covers fundamental concepts underlying computerized geographic information systems (GISs). It combines an overview of the general principles of GIS with a theoretical treatment of the nature and analytical use of spatial information. Although, the course has a laboratory component that introduces students to the ArcGIS 9 software package, it focuses more on the science behind the software, the issues surrounding the use of the software, and, once again, the fundamental nature and analytical use of spatial information in various forms (i.e., geographic information science or GIScience)
