The GIS Laboratory provides Geographic Information System (GIS), Remote Sensing, and 3D Modeling resources for researchers within Caltech's Division of Geological & Planetary Sciences. The GIS Lab (309 North Mudd) is a 21' x 22' computer laboratory designed
for eight computer workstations. Currently the lab has two Sun Ultra computers,
and nine PC's. A large central table serves as a meeting site and work
area for laying out project maps. The Lab hosts ArcInfo, ArcView, ERDAS,
ENVI/IDL, and PCI Geomatica, making these available throughout the GPS
Division network. Researchers use the lab for compiling and digitizing
spatial and attribute data, interpreting geologic and geophysical data,
and producing publication-quality maps and figures.
The GIS Lab also provides field laptops and GPS receivers to members of the GPS division free of charge for use in research or for classes. Click here for more information.
