GIS

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are tools used to help us understand spatial relationships and patterns and to visualize these data on maps. GIS tools provide a broad framework to allow users to capture, store, analyze, and display spatial or geographic data and make it accessible to a wide audience. GIS is a huge field of study, so it can be daunting to learn in the beginning. Use these tools to guide you and if you need more help, please email data@reed or consider visiting the DataLab.
