The role of geographic information systems (GIS) in environmental problem-solving and communications continues to expand at a rapid pace. In the environmental sciences, virtually all critical data have a spatial component. Geographic information systems represent a series of processes and tools, whereby complex data are linked to earth-referenced features, manipulated through spatial analysis and database queries, and displayed as results in powerful multi-media maps. Managing and displaying data through GIS distills complex trends and relationships into accessible information.
