GPS & GIS: Getting Data Out of the Field and Into GIS

This session is a demonstration on using the GPS equipment provided by the libary for you to check out.  Weather permitting, participants venture out to collect GPS data normally at the Bernard Field Station to then meet at the outside classroom to transfer the collected data from the GPS equipment and exported for use in ArcGIS using GPS data management software, industry-wide used Pathfinder Office (Trimble).  Topics will include: The GPS System; data dictionary, collecting GPS Data in the field; transferring GPS Data to PO, and exporing to shapefile (ArcGIS).  Further discussions include improving accuracy using differential correction and obtaining basemap data for display and enriching your data and finally a discussion on analytical tools for examining collected data.
