"I'm very positive about the future of GIS. It's the right technology at the right time. When I think of all the major problems that we face throughout the world today—overpopulation, food shortages, reduced agricultural production, adverse climate change, poverty—these are all quintessentially geographic problems. These problems are all concerned with the human relationship to the land, and this is where GIS can make its biggest contribution. GIS is the technology of our times and is uniquely suited to assist in solving the problems that we face."

-Dr. Roger F. Tomilson, Father of GIS

ESRI releases Ecological Marine Units (EMUs)

Esri Releases an Online App called Ecological Marine Units (EMUs ). It makes a deeper understanding  of marine ecosystems. It provides 3D, data-driven, physically distinct regions from the surface down to the ocean floor. By joining  the Ecological Marine Units ArcGIS Online Group, we can access extra resources, data, and tools of EMUs.


“It’s an exciting time when our abilities to measure ocean phenomena are met by new ways to analyze and model the oceans using GIS,” . “The work of marine researchers in mapping the vast areas of our oceans that remain uncharted is vital so that we can understand the future of our oceans.” said Esri program manager for ArcGIS content, Sean Breyer
