Abstract
Computer‐based Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allow scientists to store, process and display spatial and tabular data for environmental analysis and interpretation. A properly configured GIS workstation can be used to store large data bases for areawide monitoring, derivative mapping, and environmental management. The characteristics and applications of GIS's are examined in this paper and information is provided about low‐cost yet powerful systems.Keywords
