To enhance knowledge and skills in Geographic Information System (GIS) applications for Environmental Research, a "Training on Basic Geographic Information System (GIS): Tool for Environmental Research" was conducted from March 6 to 7. The training was spearheaded by BS Environmental Science Program Head, EnP. Edgar I. Peque, alongside GIS experts Mr. Darwin B. Anir and Mr. Karl John F. Obina.

The training began with clear discussions from the EnP. Edgar I. Peque who provided an overview of the Global Positioning System (GPS) & Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The session highlighted the importance of these technologies for data collection, mapping and spatial analysis for environmental research and decisions.

After the discussion, Darwin B. Anir and Karl John F. Obina led the way in hands-on training sessions. They guided participants through exporting collected data and explored various basic tools of GIS. Additionally, the use of Google Earth has been demonstrated and practical applications for spatial visualization and environmental monitoring have been presented.

This training successfully equips participants with basic GIS skills essential to conducting environmental research. The integration of GPS and GIS plays a critical role in data analysis, resource management and environmental planning. This is useful not only for researchers but also for local communities. Through understanding and using these technologies, environmental experts can make more and more informed decisions to promote sustainable development and effectively overcome ecological challenges.
