Integrated Geographic Analysis Facility

该项目建立了一个综合地理分析设施，以加强计算机化遥感和地理信息系统技术的教学。该项目涉及地理和人类环境研究部在其五年计划中确定的一个近期课程目标：通过数字图像处理技术支持遥感课程作业。学习地理信息系统的学生受益于纳入地球图像数据，学习遥感的学生受益于纳入辅助地理信息系统数据。通过联网的图形工作站整合专题制图和空间分析活动，预计也将使各级地理技术课程受益。

This project has established an Integrated Geographic Analysis Facility to enhance the teaching of computerized Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technologies. The project addresses an immediate curriculum goal identified by the Department of Geography and Human Environmental Studies in its five-year plan: support for Remote Sensing coursework through digital image-processing technology. Students studying GIS are benefiting from the incorporation of Earth image data while students studying Remote Sensing benefit from the incorporation of ancillary GIS data. The integration of thematic mapping and spatial analysis activities through networked graphics workstations are also expected to benefit all levels of the Geographic Techniques curriculum.
