Workstations
The SILVIS lab provides state-of-the-art computer equipment and software for data-intensive GIS and remote sensing analysis (see below). Each lab member works on a designated Dell workstation and four mid-level workstations are available for data entry by student workers. All servers and workstations are linked via Gigabit switches and directly connected to the campus backbone.
