GIS

General

The Geographic Information Systems (G.I.S.) lab essentially complements and is complemented by database development. It covers the needs of the N.H.M.C. –UoC in matters of recording information that have a geographical dimension. In this context, the laboratory moves along two axes: in the creation of reference backgrounds, mainly by digitizing ready-made maps, and in georeferencing the collected information. To create the backgrounds, the software used is ESRI ArcGIS Desktop 8.2 and the maps come from various sources such as the H.M.G.S., I.G.M.E. etc. while the scales of interest are mainly from 1:50,000 and above.

It supports all the activities of  N.H.M.C. –UoC and especially the research programs.
