Downloadable PDF version of this class (1.5 MB)

This class is meant to introduce you to the different types of GIS data that are available, how they differ, and how to choose the most appropriate data for your particular application.

Like the other GIS training classes at MEDEP, this class will focus on environmental and health issues in the Maine, in this case petroleum tank farms in Bucksport.  These are offloading points for tankers coming up the Penobscot River.  These farms are closely monitored due to their location along Maine's largest river.
