Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are a powerful and versatile tool that allows a user to capture, store, query, manipulate, analyze, and display elements of the real world using a geographically referenced digital representation and an accompanying data base of attributes. With GIS, it is possible to Combine layers of information in order to better see and study the big picture.

Here at the GIS Laboratory at the University of Southern Maine, our goal is to support and expand the use of GIS by students, faculty, and staff throughout the University. We are also a resource for GIS users in the community.

We offer access to state-of-the-art hardware and software guided by helpful, knowledgeable staff. Stop by and check us out!
