Intro to GIS Presentation

Here is a presentation I created a few years ago to accompany a little talk a gave to the lab group I was working with at the time. Members of the group had acquired some ad hoc GIS experience, but I felt they would benefit from a higher-level overview of common “geographic information systems” concepts and operations. The presentation touches briefly on a number of topics and includes a variety of example images (mostly uncredited, unfortunately; intended for educational purposes only). I have omitted the final slide, which was a segue into a discussion of specific projects within the group. I hope you will find the rest of the slideshow presented here useful.
