Maps are fundamental to civilization.  Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are a revolution that is taking maps to higher levels.  Data that used to be trapped on paper are now captured digitally, stored in spatial databases and linked with powerful spatial analysis and geo-visualization techniques.  Since location is crucial to most human and environmental phenomena, Geographic Information Scientists can find careers in many fields, including environmental science, urban planning, transportation, ecology, public health, business, utilities, public safety, intelligence and policy.   Job responsibilities typically include data management and analysis, cartographic production, computer programming and simulation.  GIScientists also work in the field with mobile GIS technologies.
