e-Biome Geographic Information System

CERC, CIESIN Released: June 2000 Archived, no longer available.

E-Biome is a student-driven resource that spans both space and time. A Geographic Information System (GIS) tool developed for the Summer Ecosystem Experience for Undergraduates (SEE-U) program, e-Biome enables students to collect ecological data in the field, which they enter in a Web-based database and query to engage in advanced, spatially-oriented investigations. Because the field research is performed with global positioning system (GPS) devices, the data has a very accurate spatial component.
