Spatial Analysis

Spatial Analysis

Mapping technologies that have emerged since the 1990s enable scholars from many different disciplines to examine spatial questions. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) tools incorporate historical and cultural data within interactive maps that facilitate sophisticated spatial analysis.

The Digital Scholarship Lab supports the creation and visualization of spatial data using GIS tools. We partner with the GIS Research and Map Collection in Bracken Library to provide access to leading GIS software and online GIS tutorials, datasets, mapping applications, in-house GIS data, and one-on- one assistance from GIS Specialists. BSU faculty and staff have free access to the full suite of ESRI software products for research purposes.
