The GIS Laboratory contains 6 workstations equipped with state-of-the-art GIS software including Esri ArcGIS Pro 3.1, Esri ArcGIS Desktop Advanced 10.8, QGIS 3.30 (open source), and Maxent 3.4 (open source) for species modeling.


Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are specialized software for the storage, sharing, visualization, and analysis of geographically-referenced data. The datasets of a GIS, called layers, are representations of real-world phenomena, such as points representing plant collections. GIS allows for the exploration of spatial relationships through these data layers, which often reveal biogeographical patterns which can only be discovered once spatially-aligned and plotted collaboratively on a map.
