Our mission- To discover life forms at this location To discover life forms at this location Find specimens / Record locations Find specimens / Record locations Describe specimens Describe specimens Photograph / Sketch Photograph / Sketch Record data Record data Organize data in Excel Organize data in Excel Map data using GIS Map data using GIS Draw conclusions Draw conclusions

What do we need to get started? Understanding of GIS Hand held GPS & knowledge of how it’s used Map of the area “Wall-E” measuring device Pencil Data Sheet Good observation skills

GPS units are combination radio receivers and automagic calculators. The units are tuned to receive time signals sent by a set of 24 satellites on orbit around Earth. By comparing the time it takes for signals from 4 or more of the satellites to reach the receiver, the unit calculates its position. Gathering Location Data with a GPS receiver
