& Communications
The GIP Lab employs state-of-the-art computing and communications
technology to perform research, to design and implement the information
infrastructure necessary for database management, and to disseminate data
and information. Networked facilities on the main campus of the University
of South Carolina and the Baruch Marine Field Laboratory in Georgetown,
SC, provide researchers and students with access to a comprehensive
selection of GIS, digital image processing, database management,
environmental modeling, and statistical analysis software.
Internet connectivity and videoconferencing capabilities facilitate
interaction between researchers on campus and at the field laboratory as
well as with those working at other locations.
Hardware platforms include Unix workstations, Microsoft servers and
workstations, Pentium PC's, and Macintoshes. Data loggers, high-precision
GPS units, GPS/depth sounders, survey levels, YSI's, a
spectroradiometer, and a canopy analyzer ceptometer enhance field data
collection procedures. Additional equipment includes a digitizing
workstation and high-resolution color scanners for database development,
and large-format color plotters and printers.
