The goal of this project is to effectively integrate geographic information systems (GIS) instruction into the environmental biology curriculum, including required undergraduate research, at Saint Mary's College of Minnesota. Laboratories in spatial and temporal modeling techniques will employ GIS technology throughout the environmental curriculum, each building on previous activities. A new junior-level course in ecological spatial and temporal analysis and modeling will integrate and extensively build on earlier topics, and prepare students to use GIS in their ecological research. This approach to ecological data analysis is rapidly becoming an essential component of studies ranging from human ecology to ecosystem analysis and management.

该项目的目标是将地理信息系统 (GIS) 教学有效地整合到明尼苏达圣玛丽学院的环境生物学课程中，包括所需的本科研究。 空间和时间建模技术实验室将在整个环境课程中采用 GIS 技术，每个实验室都建立在以前的活动的基础上。 新的初级生态时空分析和建模课程将整合并广泛构建早期主题，帮助学生做好在生态研究中使用 GIS 的准备。这种生态数据分析方法正在迅速成为从人类生态学到生态系统分析和管理等研究的重要组成部分。
