Geographic Information Systems and Science

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Science involve using technology to collect, analyze, and interpret spatial data—information tied to specific locations on Earth's surface. GIS integrates maps, data layers (like roads, weather, or demographics), and analysis tools to help understand patterns and relationships. It supports decision-making in areas such as urban planning, environmental management, and disaster response. Essentially, GIS combines geography and technology to visualize and solve real-world problems by revealing spatial connections and trends that might not be obvious otherwise.
