Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Maps have revolutionized how we view data...and our universe—allowing us to see trends that were previously invisible. But what exactly is GIS? As part of our Trending Now series, Felipe Avila, GIS Coordinator for the Wisconsin Historical Society, explains this exciting technology and takes us on a journey through its amazing diversity of uses. Learn how GIS is used in archeology, crime prediction & analysis, geography, extreme weather events, climate tracking & change, urban planning, and more! History buffs, environmentalists, political thinkers, civic leaders... there is something for everyone here! Discussion & Q&A will follow the presentation. Refreshments provided by Monona Starbucks.
