Geographic information science (GIS), often referred to as geographic information systems, is a computer-based tool that allows users to store, manage, and analyze geographic data. GIS data can be in the form of maps, images, or other types of spatial data. GIS programs can be used to create maps, analyze data, and make decisions based on the information that is gathered. GIS is used in a wide variety of applications, including:

  • Environmental planning: GIS can be used to map and analyze environmental data, such as land use, water quality, and air pollution. This information can be used to make decisions about how to protect the environment.
