8 unusual facts about Geographic information system


Archaeological field survey

Archaeologists use a variety of tools in survey, including GIS, GPS, remote sensing, geophysical survey and aerial photography.

Deposit model

All this information can be stored on a computer GIS database and analysed and augmented as time goes by and further information is revealed.

Precision viticulture

Precision viticulture depends on new and emerging technologies such as global positioning systems (GPS), meteorologic and other environmental sensors, satellite and airborne remote sensing, and geographic information systems (GIS) to assess and respond to variability.

Quantitative revolution

The greater use of computers in geography also led to many new developments in geomatics, such as the creation and application of GIS and remote sensing.

Rooftop photovoltaic power station

Visual-SOLAR is a Geographic information system (GIS) tool being developed that uses high-resolution Light detection and ranging (LiDAR)-derived Digital Surface Models to accurately recreate the earth’s surface, including building rooftops.
