A geographic information system (GIS) is a framework for gathering, managing, and analyzing data. Rooted in the science of geography, GIS integrates many types of data. It analyzes spatial location and organizes layers of information into visualizations using maps and 3D scenes. With this unique capability, GIS reveals deeper insights into spatial data, such as patterns, relationships, and situations - helping users make smarter decisions. - ESRI GIS dictionary. - ArcGIS by ESRI - industry standard, expensive, intuitive functionality, PC - Q-GIS - open source, industry standard, less than intuitive, Mac and PC - GRASS - developed by the US military, open source - AutoDESK - counterpart to AutoCAD for topography Types of Spatial Data in ArcGIS: Basics Every feature on the planet has its own unique latitude and longitude coordinates: Houses, trees, streets, archaeological finds, you!

Visual Highlighting Methods for Geovisualization
VISUAL HIGHLIGHTING METHODS FOR GEOVISUALIZATION Anthony C. Robinson GeoVISTA Center, Department of Geography 302 Walker Building The Pennsylvania State University University Park, PA 16802, USA [email protected] ABSTRACT A key advantage of interactive geovisualization tools is that users are able to quickly view data observations across multiple views. This is usually supported with a transient visual effect applied around the edges of an object during a mouse selection or rollover. This effect, commonly called highlighting, has not received much attention in geovisualization research. Today, most geovisualization tools rely on simple color-based highlighting. This paper proposes additional visual highlighting methods that could be used in geovisualizations. It also presents a typology of interactive highlighting behaviors that specify multiple ways in which highlighting techniques can be blended together or modified based on data values to enhance visual recognition in multiple coordinated view applications. INTRODUCTION The key analytical affordances of geovisualization tools include dynamic interactive behaviors and coordinated multiple views of geospatial data. Much attention in geovisualization research is devoted to developing new types of views, integrating new types of data, and designing customized systems for specific analytical tasks and domains (MacEachren and Kraak, 2001). This paper focuses on refining and extending the interactively-driven visual indication, known as highlighting, that allows users to make connections between data objects in multiple views in a geovisualization. As data and the number of views we use to explore those data become increasingly complicated (Andrienko et al., 2007), it is timely to consider new highlighting methods to ensure that visual discovery is efficient and effective.

Connected 2D and 3D Visualizations for the Interactive Exploration of Spatial Information
CONNECTED 2D AND 3D VISUALIZATIONS FOR THE INTERACTIVE EXPLORATION OF SPATIAL INFORMATION S. Bleisch *, S. Nebiker FHNW, University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland, Institute of Geomatics Engineering, CH-4132 Muttenz, Switzerland - (susanne.bleisch, stephan.nebiker)@fhnw.ch KEY WORDS: Geovisualization, Three-dimensional representation, Interactive, Spatial Data Exploration, Virtual globe, Development ABSTRACT: This paper describes the concepts and the successful prototypal implementation of interactively connected 2D information visualizations and data displays in 3D virtual environments for the interactive exploration of spatial data and information. Virtual globes or earth viewers such as Google Earth have become very popular over the last few years. They are used for looking at holiday destinations but more importantly also for scientific visualizations. From a geovisualization point of view we might regard 3D data or information displays as yet another representation type that adds to the multitude of information visualization methods. Combining 3D views of data sets with traditional 2D displays offers the advantage of being able to use 3D if and when this type of representation is considered useful or effective for finding new insights into a data set. The traditional and newer displays of mainly 2D information visualization may be enhanced and new insights into the data may be generated by displays of the data in a 3D virtual environment. On the other hand, data in 3D displays might be better understood by simultaneously reading and querying connected 2D representations.The paper presents a prototypal implementation of the interactively connected visualizations of spatial information in 2D views and 3D virtual environments using the brushing technique.

11.205 : INTRO TO SPATIAL ANALYSIS INSTRUCTOR : SARAH WILLIAMS ([email protected]) LAB INSTRUCTORS : Melissa Yvonne Chinchilla ([email protected] ), Mike Foster ([email protected]), Michael Thomas Wilson ([email protected]) TEACHING ASSISTANTS: Elizabeth Joanna Irvin ([email protected])& Halley Brunsteter Reeves ([email protected]) LECTURE : Monday and Wednesday 2:30- 4pm, Room 9-354 LABS : (All in Room W31-301) Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursdays 5-7pm – To Be Assigned Class Description: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are tools for managing data about where features are (geographic coordinate data) and what they are like (attribute data), and for providing the ability to query, manipulate, and analyze those data. Because GIS allows one to represent social and environmental data as a map, it has become an important analysis tool used across a variety of fields including: planning, architecture, engineering, public health, environmental science, economics, epidemiology, and business. GIS has become an important political instrument allowing communities and regions to graphically tell their story. GIS is a powerful tool, and this course is meant to introduce students to the basics. Because GIS can be applied to many research fields, this class is meant to give you an understanding of its possibilities. Learning Through Practice: The class will focus on teaching through practical example. All the course exercises will focus on a relationship with the Bronx River Alliance, a local advocacy group for the Bronx River. Exercises will focus on the Bronx River Alliance’s real-world needs, in order to give students a better understanding of how GIS is applied to planning situations.

Recent Publications 1984 — 2017 Issues 1 — 100
RECENT PUBLICATIONS 1984 — 2017 ISSUES 1 — 100 Recent Publications is a compendium of books and articles on cartography and cartographic subjects that is included in almost every issue of The Portolan. It was compiled by the dedi- cated work of Eric Wolf from 1984-2007 and Joel Kovarsky from 2007-2017. The worldwide cartographic community thanks them greatly. Recent Publications is a resource for anyone interested in the subject matter. Given the dates of original publication, some of the materi- als cited may or may not be currently available. The information provided in this document starts with Portolan issue number 100 and pro- gresses to issue number 1 (in backwards order of publication, i.e. most recent first). To search for a name or a topic or a specific issue, type Ctrl-F for a Windows based device (Command-F for an Apple based device) which will open a small window. Then type in your search query. For a specific issue, type in the symbol # before the number, and for issues 1— 9, insert a zero before the digit. For a specific year, instead of typing in that year, type in a Portolan issue in that year (a more efficient approach). The next page provides a listing of the Portolan issues and their dates of publication.
