Product Description
This workbook provides an introduction to the basics of GIS as a tool to view data, analyze and compare relationships, and to visualize change in our natural and social environments. It allows students to learn by doing, as well as provide instructors with homework, discussion, or lab sessions to assign. Exploring Environmental Solutions with GIS complements any physical geology, earth science, environmental geology, environmental science, or natural disasters course. Note: At this time, this product is not MAC compatible.
About the Author
Mary Ann Cunningham teaches geography and geographic information systems (GIS), and environmental studies at Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, NY. Her research involves using GIS to assess landscape-level problems in conservation and biodiversity. In particular, she is interested in understanding the nature of fragmentation in grassland environments and the effects of fragmentation on the make-up of bird communities. The agricultural landscapes where she has been working represent a complex and fascinating interaction of issues concerning working landscapes, resource use, remnant wildlife habitat, and landscape aesthetics. It is at the intersection of these issues that she likes to try and understand the geography of physical environments. Mary Ann earned a PhD in Geography at the University of Minnesota, an MA in Geography at the University of Oregon, and a BA in Geology at Carleton College.
