Geographic Information Systems--Costa Rica Images and Details

This work included  map design, quantitative analysis, and GIS program modifications.  The CAMRIS mapping software was used primarily (more CAMRIS information).  Data sources included GPS, surveys, digitization of existing maps, spreadsheets, and data translated and imported from other GIS systems.  The majority of the work was in support of conservation biology, including national, regional and local scale projects.
