GIS Day at Indiana University

On November 14, 2012, Indiana University will celebrate GIS Day with a host of informational booths and activities to showcase the exciting work that the Indiana community is doing with Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

Weather permitting the Indiana Geological Survey staff will bring their Quake Cottage (http://igs.indiana.edu/EarthquakeExperience/), an earthquake simulator unit, that mimics the shaking experienced during earthquakes.

You will find geocaching activities (http://gisday.indiana.edu/geocache.php) and interactive election maps. Don't miss John Steinmetz's keynote presentation about LiDAR for Smarties - All you need to know so you won’t have to ask (http://gisday.indiana.edu/keynote.php).

Learn more about Indiana's 2011-13 statewide orthophotography and LiDAR project. Discover the IndianaMap, Indiana's one map for everyone, using a 55 inch touch display table.
