IGIS envisions an ANR where all local and statewide research and extension programs integrate cutting edge geospatial tools into project planning, analysis, implementation, and communication. Maps and data are central to ANR's research and extension mission.
Here are some of the publications in which IGIS has played an important role. Where possible, we have provided a link to the paper. Starrs, G, I, K J Siegel, S Larson, and V Butsic. 2024.
Andy Lyons October 2022 IGIS Tech Notes describe workflows and techniques for using geospatial science and technologies in research and extension. They are works in progress, and we welcome feedback and comments below. Attendee maps are a nice way to get participants excited about an event.
UCANR maintains a system-wide site license agreement with Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) that is paid for and managed by UCANR for the benefit of the entire UCANR network.
