Mr. Jim Higgins from ESRI talked with us about Geography and Geography Awareness Week. We learned about the importance of Geography, GIS (Geographical Information Systems), and Maps.
Maps tell stories about everything! Geography is the science of our world. Maps help us organize everything we know–they tell us what, when, where and why. Some of the many areas that maps are used for: public awareness and collaboration, social equity, planning for and responding to disasters, public works management, campus and buildings, urban and regional planning, climate change and environmental monitoring. Thank you Mr. Higgins!
