Geographic Information Systems
"GIS are any set of tools or technologies used to collect, integrate, store, edit, analyze, share, or display geographic information. GIS applications are tools that allow users to create interactive queries, analyze spatial information, edit data in maps, and present the results of all these operations."

The GIS Laboratory is located in 311 North Mudd on the Caltech Campus.  Currently the lab has eight PC's and a large central table serves as a meeting site and work area for laying out project maps.  The Lab hosts ESRI, ENVI/IDL, and Matlab, making these available throughout the GPS Division network.  Researchers use the lab for compiling and digitizing spatial and attribute data, interpreting geologic and geophysical data, and producing publication-quality maps and figures.

The GIS Lab also provides field laptops and GPS receivers to members of the GPS Division free of charge for use in research or for classes. Click here for more information.

GIS Lab Access via Remote Desktop
During the period of social distancing while campus access is limited, users with GIS accounts can access the GIS workstations in the GIS Lab via Remote Desktop.
