RESOURCES

The Environmental Science department's state-of-the-art GIS lab provides students, faculty, and staff with the latest in geographic information systems, global positioning system, and remote sensing technology. Established in 2000, the lab contains sophisticated spatial analysis tools that are used in a variety of environmental, biological, geological, and socioeconomic applications. The initial equipment purchase was made possible through grants received from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 's Link to Learn program and the United States Department of Agriculture. Thanks to the Henry Luce Foundation, all computers were upgraded and dual display monitors and laptops were added in 2006.
