The GIS and Spatial Analytics Lab
The Geographic Information System (GIS) lab is used by students for capturing, storing, analyzing and managing data which are spatially referenced to the earth. It is also useful for students studying technology to be knowledgeable in GIS. Some of the technologies available to students in the lab include:
- The Remote Sensing Exploitation Platform (ENVI)
- Hydrologic Engineering Centers River Analysis System (HEC-RAS)
- The Data Visualization & Analysis Platform (IDL)
- IDRISI GIS
- Image Processing Software
