Summer Leaders Seminar 2012
Geospatial Information Science
Workshop
 
The Science Behind The Map
 
This workshop focuses on the rapidly growing discipline of Geospatial Information Science (GISc). Have you ever wondered how MapQuest works? Do you enjoy computer gaming and high-tech gadgets? If so, you’ll love this workshop. See how the military uses and translates these concepts into real world applications. Students will be exposed to global positioning systems (GPS), real-time mapping operations, high resolution satellite imagery, geographic information systems (GIS), fly-through simulations and terrain modeling.
