the desktop and into the field, where new sorts of data, gathered from across many disciplines, reveal social and cultural patterns and their connections to natural resources. Using innovative maps and visualizations to present these data, GIS users are helping
decision makers better understand social and environmental dynamics, and changing how people think about and use geographical information.
