13. Ortho photo with GIS-data The same GIS project again Not the map, but part of the data base made by the students is shown here

14. Environmental pollution at Mundelstrup The 1980s: more than 20 sites were depolluted. The toxic soil was removed and new soil put on

15. Map of the fertilizer factory - the source of pollution Fertilizer factory (1888-1924) Map from about 1900

16. GIS analysis using environmental data Environmental issues near Mundelstrup, Denmark

17. Field-based GIS - using pda (iPAQ) and ArcPad iPAQ og ArcPad can be used to collect and store data from the satellites The data can be used in the GIS programs.

18. From spread sheet to GIS project The students make spread sheets with information on every locality, environmental conditions such as water pollution etc. The spread sheet is imported into ArcView and the program shows the different contents of the legends

19. Polluted plots of land The Municipality of Aarhus, Denmark

20. Wells and polluted land

21. Students’ GIS reports on the pollution. GIS data can be exchanged via mail and conference systems like First Class.
