Geographic Information Systems (GIS) store, analyze, visualize, manipulate, access, and communicate data that are connected to physical locations (space) and through time. GIS software and theory are pervasive in our everyday lives. Spatial and temporal data are utilized in numerous ways in almost every field and industry, including, but not limited to, the natural and social sciences, federal, state, and municipal agencies, and business intelligence. GIS is used to aid important tasks ranging from locating and cataloging features, to addressing problems related to land use, natural resources, and a large variety of scientific and social issues.
