This modular, four-part, groundbreaking series is written, and has been extensively class-tested, by Michelle Hall-Wallace and the SAGUARO Project team at the University of Arizona. GIS Investigations for the Earth Sciences are designed with precise, step-by-step directions to let even novice users “learn by doing” as they utilize the power of the ArcView® GIS application to explore, manipulate, and analyze large data sets. The earth sciences activities emphasize comprehensive learning and focus on connecting patterns to Earth processes. Each new copy of a GIS Investigation contains a CD with unlimited access to the SAGUARO projects and data as well as a FREE 120-day time-locked dual-platform version of the ArcView® software. An Instructor’s Manual for each of the four GIS Investigation texts provides detailed assistance for instructors on incorporating GIS activities into the classroom or lab.
