The Spatial Edge: The Strategic Advantage of GIS Skills Across Higher Education

By Thomas Fisher and Len Kne

Although GIS is now widely taught in higher education, it is typically associated with a handful of disciplines: geography, planning, natural resources, and landscape architecture. The Spatial Edge: The Strategic Advantage of GIS Skills Across Higher Education presents a series of case studies that show how integrating the geographic approach across academic disciplines and university operations can unite campuses in addressing challenges. The book operates as a guide for administrators and educators, illustrating the many ways in which their colleagues—in virtually every field—use GIS to teach students, conduct research, connect with communities, operate facilities, and produce geospatially skilled graduates who are ready for the workplace.
