Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Working with OARC for GIS

GIS is a form of data analysis that utilizes spatial location and geographic data to produce visualizations, helping provide new insights into patterns and relationships. OARC offers research support services in GIS. Through consultations and workshop training sessions, we help scholars use GIS tools and software, data resources, analysis and visualizations to complement their research.
