GIS
- VIS Integration Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are collections
of computing techniques and databases that support the gathering,
analysis and display of large volumes of spatially referenced data.
Scientific Visualization (VIS) is associated with computer graphics
tools that support the three dimensional display and animation of
complex data sets. The Enterprise Technology Services Division (ETSD)
of the Environmental Protection Agency has been exploring how to integrate
GIS and VIS technologies to assist with environmental sciences decision
making.
