With the recent acquisition of new GIS software,
students of Laura Estabrooks’ Geospatial Technology and Geospatial Analysis classes
have received professional grade software that enables them to investigate
world issues involving the environment, habitat, planning, government,
conservation, health, and many other matters. According to Mrs. Estabrooks, “The program enables collection of
data on a wide range of issues. Locally,
the Geospatial Analysis Class will be working with the Hinkson Creek Stream
Team mapping healthy vegetation, water contamination, litter and whatever other
monitoring parameters are set.” This GIS software is the worldwide industry
standard, giving students who master its use an advantage in future jobs and
internships. See the full article in the October 4, 2012 issue of the Columbia Missourian
