Invented by ancient Greek scholar Eratosthenes based on 2 Greek words
GEO -> EarthGRAPHY -> to write
The study of location – spatial science

GEOGRAPHY IS…
• Study of how “things” are distributed from place to place ~ the spatial aspect of “things” and their interrelationships
What is where?
Why is that there?
So what?
• Answer such ?s from perspectives of creation, organization and utilization

GIS answers the following:
Location: What is at...?
Condition: Where does this happen?
Trends: What has changed since...?
Patterns: What spatial patterns exist?
Modeling: What if…?
Exploring with GIS turns data into information into knowledge
