What is GIS? “A geographic information system (GIS) integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information.” –ESRI.com

What is GIS? vectors rasters ArcGIS, MapInfo, Manifold, QGIS... GPS

What is GIS? vectors –lines roads, altitude curves –points wells, rocks –polygons fields, areas in general

What is GIS? rasters –e.g. aerial photos

What is GIS? data attached to the material attribute table displays the data attributes are in most cases editable

Things to do with GIS A tool for producing and analysing spatial data Possibilites for visualisation -> Maps, 3D models

Things to do with GIS Marketing –Spread information about the stations activities, events, on-going research etc.
